The crystal structures of the tile compounds have been determined by single crystal diffraction methods. Crystals of 5, 7-dimethyl-1, 8-naphthyridine-2-ol (1) are monoclinic, space group P2[sub 1]/n with a = 7.336(2), b = 8.989(2), c = 13.125(3)[angstrom], [beta] = 95.72(3)[degrees], V = 861.2(4)[angstrom][sup 3], Z = 4 D[sub c] = 1.34 g cm[sup [minus]3], final R = 0.052. The molecules are linked in pairs by two N-H[center dot][center dot][center dot]O hydrogen bonds, and these dimers are stacked in a discontinuous, stepped fashion. Crystals of HgL[sub 2] (2) are monoclinic space group P2[sub 1]/c with a = 4.044(2), b = 12.147(2), c = 18.093(5)[angstrom], [beta] = 93.32(2)[degrees], V = 887.3(4)[angstrom][sup 3], Z = 2, D[sub c] = 2.05 g cm[sup [minus]3], final R = 0.051. In 2 the mercury binds to N(1) to form a linear N-Hg-N coordination geometry, and the HgL[sub 2] molecules form a continuous stacked structure. The syntheses of the compounds ML[sub 4](NO[sub 3])[sub 3] [center dot] H[sub 2]O (M = Nd, Gd, and Er), PrHg[sub 2]L[sub 4](NO[sub 3])[sub 3], and M[sub 2]Hg[sub 3]L[sub 6](NO[sub 3])[sub 6] (M = Gd, Er) are also reported.
