Cover illustration: The preparation and structural investigation of seven solvates of the anti­hypertensive drug olmesartan are described. All the structures were found to be isostructural and the supra­molecular arrangements are held in a similar way by strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. See Grosu, Martin, Turza, Miclaus, Kacso & Borodi [Acta Cryst. (2022), C78, 240–249].

[Co(en)3][Co(ox)3]·5H2O shows stereo­selective hydrogen-bonding inter­actions depending on the axis of inter­action of [Co(en)3]3+. This has implications for chiral discriminations in solution.

Two isomers of the molybdenum(II) com­plex Mo(CO)(C2Me2)(S-Phoz)2 [S-Phoz is 2-(4,4-di­methyl­oxazolin-2-yl)thio­pheno­late] have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction at 100 K and by spectroscopy (NMR and IR). They show quite different Mo—N and Mo—S distances.

The X-ray crystal structure of D-mannosamine hydro­chloride (2-amino-2-de­oxy-D-mannose hydro­chloride) was determined and com­pared to those of structurally-related α-D-glucosa­mine hydro­chloride and β-D-galactosamine hydro­chloride, with a focus on ionic hydrogen bonding in these crystals.

A novel π-extended deca­cyclic S,N-hetero­acene with a conjugated backbone has been attained by the Cadogan reaction. The single-crystal structure is reported, as well as the optical and electrochemical properties.

The crystal structures of three β-halolactic acids have been determined: β-chloro­lactic acid (I) (Z′ = 2), β-bromo­lactic acid (II) (Z′ = 2), and β-iodo­lactic acid (III) (Z′ = 1). The difference between the mol­ecules in the asymmetric units of I and II is due to the direction of the hydrogen bond of the alcohol group to a neighboring mol­ecule, which results in changes in the hydrogen-bond network.
