The present FTIR study showed that eubacterial light-driven H+, Na+ and Cl− pump rhodopsins contain strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecule, the functional determinant of light-driven proton pump. This explains well the asymmetric functional conversions of light-driven ion pumps.

In the title hydrated salt, C8H18N+·C4H5O4−·H2O, the cyclooctyl ring of the cation is disordered over two positions in a 0.833 (3):0.167 (3) ratio. The structure contains various O—H.·O and N—H...O interactions, forming a hydrogen-bonded layer of molecules perpendicular to thecaxis. In each layer, the ammonium cation hydrogen bonds to two hydrogen succinate anions and one water molecule. Each hydrogen succinate anion hydrogen bonds to neighbouring anions, forming a chain of molecules along thebaxis. In addition, each hydrogen succinate anion hydrogen bonds to two water molecules and the ammonium cation.

Diosgenin [or (22R,25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol] is the starting material of the Marker degradation, a cheap semi-synthesis of progesterone, which has been designated as an International Historic Chemical Landmark. Thus far, a single X-ray structure for diosgenin is known, namely its dimethyl sulfoxide solvate [Zhanget al.(2005).Acta Cryst.E61, o2324–o2325]. We have now determined the structure of the hemihydrate, C27H42O3·0.5H2O. The asymmetric unit contains two diosgenin molecules, with quite similar conformations, and one water molecule. Hydroxy groups in steroids and water molecules form O—H...O hydrogen-bondedR54(10) ring motifs. Fused edge-sharingR(10) rings form a backbone oriented along [100], which aggregates the diosgenin molecules in the crystal structure.

Five structures of co-crystals grown from aqueous solutions equimolar in 15-crown-5 (or 15C5) and [M(H2O)6](NO3) n , M = Al3+, Cr3+ and Pd2+, are reported. The hydrogen-bonding patterns in all are similar: metal complexes including the fragment trans-H2O—M—OH2 alternate with 15C5 molecules, to which they are hydrogen bonded, to form stacks. A literature survey shows that this hydrogen-bonding pattern is very common. In each of the two polymorphs of the compound [Al(H2O)6](NO3)3·15C5·4H2O there are two independent cations; one forms hydrogen bonds directly to the 15C5 molecules adjacent in the stack, while the other cation is hydrogen-bonded to two water molecules that act as spacers in the stack. These stacks are then crosslinked by hydrogen bonds formed by the three nitrate counterions and the three lattice water molecules. The hydrogen-bonded stacks in [Cr(H2O)5(NO3)](NO3)2·1.5(15C5)·H2O are discrete rather than infinite; each unit contains two Cr3+ complex cations and three 15C5 molecules. These units are again crosslinked by the uncoordinated nitrate ions and a lattice water molecule. In [Pd(H2O)2(NO3)2]·15C5 the infinite stacks are electrically neutral and are not crosslinked. In [Pd(H2O)2(NO3)2]·2(15C5)·2H2O·2HNO3 a discrete, uncharged unit containing one Pd complex and two 15C5 molecules is `capped off' at either end by a lattice water molecule and an included nitric acid molecule. In all five structures the infinite stacks or discrete units form an array that is at least approximately hexagonal.

In the title compound, C30H48BNOP2·0.5H2O, the water molecule is disordered about an inversion centre. Both phosphorus atoms shows distortions in their tetrahedral environments with the cyclohexyl substituents disordered over two orientations in a 0.851 (3):0.149 (3) occupancy ratio. The crystal structure is assembledviaO—H...O interactions between pairs of phosphininc amide molecules and water molecules, creating hydrogen-bonded dimers with graph-setR24(8) along [001]. Weak C—H...O interactions are also observed.

The unexpected title compound, [Cu(C6H8NO6)Cl(H2O)]·C12H24O6·3H2O, was synthesized by crystallization of a mixture containing CuCl2·2H2O, nitrilotriacetic acid (H3NTA), KOH, 18-crown-6 and GdCl3·6H2O. The complex consists of a hydrogen-bonded polymeric structure, in which discrete Cu(H2NTA)(H2O)Cl units interact via the carboxyl groups and the coordinating water molecules with the crown ether molecules. No direct metal–crown ether bond exists in the infinite sandwich-type hydrogen-bonded structure. The copper complex lies on a mirror plane, which passes through Cu and all the coordinating atoms. The crown ether molecule lies on an inversion centre. One water molecule is disordered across the mirror plane.
