1. Merkle-trees. Helps with content-based-retrieval, efficient add/modify/delete/move node operations. Useful in scenarios where you are building a data-serialization format that needs to support efficient updates.

2. Not necessarily a data structure, but SMT solvers (like Z3) provide a very useful abstraction for certain kinds of problems. They also use some cool data structures like disjoint-sets among other things.

3. Lock-free datastructures
