The title compounds, C10H16O2Si (1) and C17H18OSi (2), are classified as dihydrofurylsilanes, which show great potential as building blocks for various functionalized silanes. They both crystallize in the space group P\overline{1} in the triclinic crystal system. Analyses of the Hirshfeld surfaces show packing-determining interactions for both compounds, resulting in a polymeric chain along the [011] for silane 1 and a layered-interconnected structure along the b-axis direction for silane 2.

Organolithium compounds have been used successfully in flow chemistry since the recent past. Most of the studies dealt with the use in halogen-lithium exchanges. So far, however, there has been a lack of use in substitution reactions. The use of flow microreactors makes the highly reactive organolithium compounds more controllable and thus creates new synthetic possibilities.

In order to investigate the coordination chemistry of O-alkyl N-aryl thiocarbamate ligands, BiI3 was reacted with two equivalents of MeOC(=S)N(H)Ph in MeCN solution to afford the dinuclear title compound complexes [{I2Bi(μ2-I)2BiI2}{κ1-MeOC(=S)N(H)Ph}4] 1. Compound 1 was characterized by IR, UV and NMR spectroscopy, the formation of a dinuclear framework is ascertained by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study performed at 100 K.

The title complex, [PtI2(C7H8I2)2], represents a further example of a square-planar PtII–dithioether complex. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. Additional Hirshfeld analyses indicate a C—H...π interaction along the [010] axis to be the most important packing factor.
