Cover illustration: 4,4'-[2,5-Bis(dodecyloxy)-p-phenylene]bis(2-methylbut-3-yn-2-ol), C40H66O4, is an intermediate in the preparation of [pi]-conjugated polymers such as polyaryleneethynylenes (PAEs) which exhibit photoluminescence or electroluminescence and can be used as electronic and photonic devices. In this molecule, the propinyl and dodecoxyl substituents lie close to the plane of the benzene ring. The OH groups of the butynol units lie out of this plane in the same direction, facilitating the dimerization of neighbouring molecules through O-H...O hydrogen bonds. See Zhang & Gu [Acta Cryst. (2010). E66, o1521].

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.
