Cover illustration: 3-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)propanenitrile, C6H7N3, is a precursor of nitrile-based ionic liquids. Such materials are finding increasing use in both organic and inorganic synthesis as replacements for more volatile organic solvents. Originally this compound was reported to be a liquid at room temperature. However a freshly distilled sample crystallized spontaneously, forming colourless crystals melting at 310 K. Weak C-H...N contacts stabilize the crystal packing. See Peppel & Köckerling [Acta Cryst. (2009). E65, o2480].

Research communications

The first papers in this new format were published in July 2014. Research communications are longer papers with new text sections designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Figures are included in the published paper and, for the first time in Acta E, individual reports are not limited to single structure determinations. The Research communications format will make Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
