Cover illustration: The mixed-valent iron compound [Fe2(C2H5S)3(C12H21Si)2] contains an unusual Fe2S3 core with a short Fe-Fe distance of 2.7842 (5) Å which is clear evidence of an intermetallic bond. The Fe atoms are coordinated by two substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands with their C5 planes nearly perpendicular to the Fe-Fe vector and are bridged by three thiolate ligands. Such a diiron-sulfur compound might act as a model structure of active sites in some metalloproteins. See Jing Li [Acta Cryst. (2009). E65, m1542].

Research communications

The first papers in this new format were published in July 2014. Research communications are longer papers with new text sections designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Figures are included in the published paper and, for the first time in Acta E, individual reports are not limited to single structure determinations. The Research communications format will make Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
