Cover illustration: Structures that contain hydroxyl and secondary and primary amine groups are sometimes determined incorrectly because of an assumed geometry of these groups from which the applied constraints or restraints were inferred. In such cases, the correct geometry is missed as it is not verified by inspection of the difference electron-density maps. The structure of a molecular salt, C10H13N4+·N3-, has been redetermined from the data published by Qian & Huang [Acta Cryst. (2010), E66, o3086]. The improvement of the present redetermination consists in a correction of the site-occupancy parameter of the bridging H atom between the pyridine rings, as well as of its position. The present study has shown that the bridging H atom (site symmetry 2) is involved in a symmetric N-H...N hydrogen bond, which is one of the longest ever observed [N...N = 2.678 (3) Å]. See: Fábry [Acta Cryst. (2017). E73, 1344-1347].

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound is characterized by a planarity that allows the formation of (010) sheets. However, the existence of two different conformations of the ethyl fragment introduces the occurrence of discrete disorder due to a mol­ecular overlay.

The herbicide penoxsulam crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—F⋯π and π–π inter­actions that combine with C—H⋯F and C—H O hydrogen bonds and weak inter­molecular F⋯F short contacts to form a three-dimensional network.

The title compounds both comprise a tetra­butyl­ammonium cation, a halide anion and an ortho-phenyl­ene bis-urea mol­ecule. Each halide ion shows four N—H⋯X (X = Cl or Br) inter­actions with two urea receptor sites of different bis-urea moieties. A crystallographic inversion centre leads to the formation of a 2:2 arrangement of two halide anions and two bis-urea mol­ecules.

In each of the title compounds, the cation is conformationally chiral, exhibiting conformational disorder, while two of the nitro groups in the picrate anion also exhibit disorder. In the benzoate salt, the ions are linked into a chain of rings by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, whole in the picrate salt, the hydrogen-bonded four-ion aggregate contains four different types of ring.

In the title oxime ester, the benzoate and furan rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 11.68 (9)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a-axis direction.

In the title compound, the indole ring system makes a dihedral angle of 63.56 (8)° with the plane of the anthracene ring. The conformation about the C=N bond of the –CH2–CH2–N=CH– bridge linking the two units is E. In the crystal, the indole H atom is involved in an inter­molecular N—H⋯π inter­action with the benzene ring of the indole group, leading to the formation of chains along [010].

In the title mol­ecule, the central pyrrole ring makes dihedral angles of 9.2 (3) and 67.6 (2)°, respectively, with the eth­oxy carbonyl moiety and the fluoro­phenyl ring. Supra­molecular aggregation is due to off-centric π–π stacking inter­actions involving screw-related pairs of mol­ecules, which are further connected by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming a sinusoidal pattern

The side product of the cyclo­condensation reaction between ethyl benzimidazole-2-carboxyl­ate and the nitrile imine of the corresponding hydrazonyl chloride, C20H11BrClN5O, crystallized in two crystal forms. Form (1) is a co-crystal of the target compound (without any chlorine substituent) and a side product containing a Cl atom in position 2 of the bromo­phenyl group, C20H12BrN5O·0.143C20H11BrClN5O. (2) contains the pure side product. The slightly different conformation of the ring systems leads to a different packing of (1) and (2), but both crystal structures are dominated by π–π inter­actions.

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.
