Cover illustration: Rubidium hydrogen carbonate, RbHCO3, is dimorphic and shows a structural phase transition from the monoclinic high-temperature phase to the triclinic low-temperature phase. In the high-temperature phase the hydrogen atom of the HCO3- anion is statistically disordered between symmetry-related pairs [HCO3]22- whereas it is ordered in the low-temperature phase, leading to one short and two symmetry-equivalent intermediate C-O bonds and to two short and one longer C-O bonds, respectively. The ordering of the proton leads to a translationangleiche symmetry reduction of index 2. See: Larvor & Stöoger [Acta Cryst. (2017). E73, 975-979].

The mol­ecular structure of 5-fluoro­isatin-3-oxime matches the asymmetric unit and is nearly planar. The mol­ecules are linked into a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network parallel to the (100) plane and the Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal structure cohesion are the O⋯H (28.5%) and H⋯F (16.4%) inter­actions. An in silico evaluation of the title compound with the VEGFR-2 kinase was carried out and suggests a solid theoretical structure–activity relationship.

Naltrexone [systematic name: 17-(cyclo­propyl­meth­yl)-4,5α-ep­oxy-3,14-di­hydroxy­morphinan-6-one] is an opioid receptor competitive antagonist that has been widely used to prevent relapse in opioid- and alcohol-dependent subjects. Its chloride salt forms non-isomorphic solvates with ethanol (C20H24O4+·Cl·C2H5OH) (I), propan-2-ol (C20H24O4+·Cl·C3H7OH) (II), and 2-methyl­propan-2-ol (C20H24O4+·Cl·C4H9OH) (III). In all these structures, the alcohol mol­ecules occupy infinite solvent-filled channels. All three compounds described are attractive crystalline forms for unambiguous identification of naltrexone chloride after isolation from a pharmaceutical form.

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.
