Cover illustration: [pi]-Conjugated molecular materials with fused rings are the focus of considerable interest in the emerging area of organic electronics, since the combination of good charge-carrier mobility and high stability may lead to potential optoelectronic applications. The observed band gap of 3.03 eV for the compound (E)-1,3-bis(anthracen-9-yl)prop-2-en-1-on is in excellent agreement with that (3.07 eV) calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates a high percentage of C...H/H...C (41.2%) contacts in the crystal. See: Zainuri, Razak & Arshad [Acta Cryst. (2018). E74, 492-496].

The crystal structure and the Hirshfeld surface analysis of a 5-fluoro­isatin 3-oxime and copper(II) complex are reported. In the crystal, the centrosymmetric complexes are linked by hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional network. This work is the second report in the literature of a crystal structure with isatin 3-oxime derivatives acting as ligands (for metal complexes).

`Candidatus Profftella armatura' a bacterial endosymbiont of D. citri, biosynthesizes diaphorin, which is a hybrid polyketide–nonribosomal peptide comprising two highly substituted tetra­hydro­pyran rings joined by an N-acyl aminal bridge. The relative configurations of three out of its nine stereogenic centers, which could not be determined by NMR, were assigned based on the crystal structure.

The title Schiff base compounds, (I) and (II), were synthesized via the condensation reaction of 2-amino-4-chloro­phenol for (I), and 2-(2,3-di­hydro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-amine for (II), with 4-benz­yloxy-2-hy­droxy­benzaldehyde. In both compounds, there is an intra­molecular hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif; an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond in (I), but a charge-assisted N+—H⋯O hydrogen bond in (II).

In energetic materials, the crystal density is an important parameter that affects the performance of the material. When making ionic energetic materials, the choice of counter-ion can have detrimental or beneficial effects on the packing, and therefore the density, of the resulting energetic crystal. Presented herein are a series of five ionic energetic crystals, all containing the 5,5′-(3,3′-bi[1,2,4-oxa­diazole]-5,5′-di­yl)bis­(1H-tetra­zol-1-olate) dianion.

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.
