Cover illustration: A series of solid-state structures of 2- and 4-formylphenyl 4-substituted benzenesulfonates were investigated. Remarkably, halogen-bonding interactions are found to be important to rationalize their solid-state crystal structures. See Andleeb, Khan, Bauzá, Tahir, Simpson, Hameed & Frontera [Acta Cryst. (2018), C74, 816-829].

In order to study the correlations between anticonvulsant activity and molecular structure, the crystal structures of three new cinnamamide derivatives with proven anticonvulsant activity were determined by X-ray diffraction. The molecular structures and intermolecular interactions were analyzed in order to propose a pharmacophore model for cinnamamide derivatives.

The coordination modes, hydrogen-bond patterns, supramolecular architectures and π–π stacking interactions of three new Cd and Zn complexes of cytosine and 5-fluorocytosine, namely bis(cytosine)diiodidocadmium(II), bis(cytosine)dinitratocadmium(II) and (6-amino-5-fluorocytosine)aquadibromidozinc(II)–4-amino-5-fluorocytosine (1/1), are described and analyzed.

Three new pharmaceutical salts of the antioxidant drug emoxypine (EMX) with pharmaceutically acceptable maleic (Mlt), malonic (Mln) and adipic (Adp) acids ([EMX+Mlt], [EMX+Mln] and [EMX+Adp], respectively) were synthesized and their crystal structures characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, solid-state DFT and QTAIMC analysis. The thermochemical and solubility properties of the three EMX salts were studied, with the maximum solubility increase (38 times) being observed for [EMX+Mln].

N—H⋯A (A = S and π) hydrogen bonds were studied in a new amidothiophosphoester structure. The driving force for the N—H⋯π interaction is the presence of the electron-rich (2,4,6-CH3)3C6H2 segment.

Two new succinates of 1-hydroxypropan-2-aminium derivatives have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The N atoms are protonated by proton transfer from succinic acid. The salts display similar supramolecular architectures, i.e. two-dimensional networks.

A study of the ternary Rh–Mn–Bi phase diagram revealed the existence of two new ternary bismuthides, viz. hexarhodium pentamanganese octadecabismuthide (Rh6Mn5Bi18) and rhodium manganese tribismuthide (RhMnBi3). Their crystal structures represent new structure types.
