Cover illustration: Chalcone derivatives show a wide range of applications, especially in medicinal chemistry. This report describes the synthesis and crystal structure of a chalcone formed during the reaction between 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde and 2-acetylthiophene in basic ethanolic solution. A Hirshfield surface analysis indicates the H...H and H...C interactions to be most important. A docking study of the compound in the active site of neuramidase shows similar H...Cg(thiophene) contacts as observed in the centrosymmetric dimers present in the crystal packing. See: de Oliveira, Bresolin, Flores, de Farias & de Oliveira [Acta Cryst. (2017). E73, 476-480].

The mol­ecule is positioned on a twofold rotation axis and the asymmetric unit consists of half a mol­ecule with the other half being generated by symmetry. The presence of two large bromine atoms in the bay region significantly distorts the mol­ecule from planarity. The mol­ecules pack in layers in the crystal with slippage in the stacking arrangement. While all of the mol­ecules within each layer are oriented in the same direction, those in adjacent layers are oriented in the opposite direction, leading to anti-parallel stacks.

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.
