Four new hybrid inorganic–organic salts of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane N,N’-dioxide (odabco) with the formulae odabco·2HNO3 (1), odabco·HClO4 (2), odabco·H2SO4 (3) and odabco·2H2SO4 (4) were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffraction (XRD), powder XRD and infrared spectroscopy. Compound 1 is based on the isolated (H2odabco)2+ fragments, representing 0D structure. 2 is based on cationic 1D {Hodabco}nn+ hydrogen-bonded chains. Compound 3 comprising a strongly coordinated sulfate anion consists of two-component hydrogen-bonded {-H2odabco-SO4−} fragments forming uncharged 1D helical chains. 4 contains both {-HSO4-}nn– and {-HSO4-H2odabco-HSO4−} hydrogen bonding motifs, resulting in a 3D polymeric network. A comparative structural analysis of both the obtained and the previously reported cognate structures was performed to rationalize the impact of the degree of odabco protonation and the anion donor ability on the structural features and dimensionalities of odabco-based hydrogen-bonded lattices.

Three new metal−organic frameworks based on scandium(III) cations and 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (H2Tdc) are synthesized: [Sc(Tdc)(OH)]·1.2DMF (I), [Sc(Tdc)(OH)]·2/3DMF (II), and (Me2NH2)[Sc3(Tdc)4(OH)2]·DMF (III) (DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide). The structures of the compounds are determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis (CIF file CCDC nos. 2067819 (I), 2067820 (II), and 2067821 (III)). The chemical and phase purity of compound I is proved by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, and IR spectroscopy.
