Cover illustration: Xe(SO3F)2 is one of the few examples of a noble gas compound and was synthesized by reacting solid XeF2 with fluorosulfuric acid. Although Xe(SO3F)2 has been known for more than four decades, the molecular and crystal structure remained unclear due to the high thermal instability of this compound. In contrast to earlier assumptions where Cs symmetry was discussed for the molecule in the solid state on the basis of Raman spectroscopic data, the true symmetry is C1, approaching Ci symmetry. This pseudo-inversion symmetry is reflected by the nearly linear O-Xe-O angle of 179.13 (4)° of the two-coordinate xenon atom. See: Malischewski & Seppelt [Acta Cryst. (2015). E71, 363-365].

A variety of 5-aryl-1,2,5-thia­diazo­lidin-3-one 1,1-dioxides have been developed as inhibitors of the enzyme protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). For the title compound, there is the expected twisted relationship between the plane of the 1,2,5-thia­diazo­lidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide ring and the aryl ring to which it is attached, although the dihedral angle of 62.87 (8)° is substanti­ally less than that seen in certain protein–ligand structures.

The CoII atom in this one-dimensional coordination polymer, with aqua, 4-formyl­benzoate and bridging pyrazine ligands, is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination sphere. Strong intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the water mol­ecules to the carboxyl­ate O atoms.

In the compound [CdL2(H2O)4]·2H2O [L = (1-ammonio-1-phosphono­eth­yl)phospho­nate, C2H8NO6P2], the CdII ion is situated on an inversion centre being coordinated by four aqua mol­ecules in the equatorial plane and two deprotonated phospho­nate O atoms from two L ligands in the axial positions in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Each ligand L exists in a zwitterionic form, and with an intra­molecular O—H⋯O inter­action forming an S(6) ring motif and two intra­molecular N—H⋯O inter­actions each generating an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link complex mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network with voids of 38 Å3 filled with ordered lattice water mol­ecules, which are also involved in O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.

An octa­hedral complex of iridium(III) with a chelating cyclo­octa-1,5-diene ligand, a facial arrangement of three chloride ligands and one aceto­nitrile ligand was isolated serendipitously from an attempted reaction between indene, the chlorido­cyclo­octa­dieneiridium dimer and HCl. Work-up that included use of aceto­nitrile solvent led to the formation of a few crystals of the title compound.

In three simple clozapinium salts, the unprotonated N atom of the piperazine ring has been variously found to have a pyramidal or planar geometry, with the tricyclic component occupying either the axial or the equatorial position. The supra­molecular assembly is one-dimensional in the 3,5-di­nitro­benzoate salt, two-dimensional in the hydrogen maleate salt and three-dimensional in the 2-hy­droxy­benzoate salt.

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.
