8-Hy-droxy-quinolinium tri-chlorido-(pyridine-2,6-di-carb-oxy-lic acid-κ ,,')copper(II) dihydrate.

The title compound, (CHNO)[CuCl(CHNO)]·2HO, was prepared by reacting Cu acetate dihydrate, solid 8-hy-droxy-quinoline (8-HQ), and solid pyridine-2,6-di-carb-oxy-lic acid (Hpydc), in a 1:1:1 molar ratio, in an aqueous solution of dilute hydro-chloric acid. The Cu atom exhibits a distorted CuONCl octa-hedral geometry, coordinating two oxygen atoms and one nitro-gen atom from the tridentate Hpydc ligand and three chloride atoms; the nitro-gen atom and one chloride atom occupy the axial positions with Cu-N and Cu-Cl bond lengths of 2.011 (2) Å and 2.

Bis(8-hy-droxy-quinolinium) naphthalene-1,5-di-sulfonate tetra-hydrate.

The inter-action between 8-hy-droxy-quinoline (8HQ, CHNO) and naphthalene-1,5-di-sulfonic acid (HNDS, CHOS) in aqueous media results in the formation of the salt hydrate bis-(8-hy-droxy-quinolinium) naphthalene-1,5-di-sulfonate tetra-hydrate, 2CHNO·CHOS ·4HO. The asymmetric unit comprises one protonated 8HQ cation, half of an NDS dianion symmetrically disposed around a center of inversion, and two water mol-ecules. Within the crystal structure, these components are organized into chains along the [010] and [10] directions through O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, forming a di-periodic network parallel to (101).
