Cover illustration: Eight crystal structures of 5-(hydroxymethyl)uracil, 5-carboxyuracil and 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil are presented as the results of a study of their preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns and a conformational study. In six of the structures, intramolecular S(6) interactions are formed by the carboxy group, while in one structure, intermolecular R22(8) motifs are observed instead. A coplanar conformation of all non-H atoms is preferred in all structures. See Seiler, Hützler & Bolte [Acta Cryst. (2016), C72, 379-388].
