Cover illustration: Though cyclohexanol is a simple compound it has a rich phase diversity at low temperature. It forms a disordered glassy phase on cooling, but this can be transformed into ordered phases (II), (III) and the metastable (III'), which all have different hydrogen-bonding motifs. The series of transitions is attributable to the conformational flexibility of the hydroxyl group [Ibberson et al. (2008). Acta Cryst. B64, 573-582]. |

The experimental results are compared with solid-state calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The influence of the different occupancies of the metastable isomer SI and GS on the refinement results was solved by a simulation procedure.

Synopsis: The maximum-entropy charge densities of six amino acids and peptides reveal systematic dependencies of the properties at bond critical points on bond lengths. MEM densities demonstrate that low-order multipoles (lmax = 1) and isotropic atomic displacement parameters for H atoms in the multipole model are insufficient for capturing all the features of charge densities in hydrogen bonds.
