Cover illustration: Stabilization of various transition metal cations with bulky alkoxides can be achieved through metathesis reactions between alkali metal alkoxides and transition metal halogenides. In most cases these reactions are not quantitative. Instead of alkali alkoxides, thallium(I) alkoxides can alternatively be used. These compounds react almost quantitatively with transition metal chlorides due to the poor solubility of TlCl. In the high-symmetric title compound, [Tl4(C4H9O)4], two different molecules featuring a distorted (Tl-O)4 cube are found, one with site symmetry -4.., and one with site symmetry 23. . All O-Tl-O bond angles are smaller than 90° whereas the Tl-O-Tl angles are wider than 90°. See Blasberg, Lerner & Bolte [Acta Cryst. (2010). E66, m1621].

Research communications

Research communications are designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Authors are encouraged to report more than one structure in the same communication and also to include the results of investigations with other techniques. The Research communications format makes Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.

Emerging Sources Citation Index

Acta E is included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index.
