Cover illustration: Organically templated zinc phosphites (ZnPOs) are a class of hybrid materials comprising negatively charged, polyhedral building units and organic cations (often protonated amines). Their structure consists of an inorganic open framework with different Zn:P ratios, connected to the organic moieties either via N-H...O hydrogen bonds or through direct Zn-N bonds (templating effect or ligand behaviour of the organic cation, respectively). Besides their rich structural diversities, these organic-inorganic compounds have been attracting attention for their potential applications in catalysis, separation and as functional materials.

The refined crystal structure model of iron tetra­nitride, FeN4, at 180 GPa is similar to that at 135 GPa but shows improved structural parameters in terms of bond lengths and angles.

The complex at 100 K has monoclinic (P21/c) symmetry and a distorted tetra­hedral geometry around the nickel center, with the cyclo­octa­diene ligand coordinated in a κ22 fashion. The bidentate NHC ligand is not planar, with a C(carbene)—Ni—C(carbene) angle of 91.51 (12)°, resulting in the mesityl groups being on the same side of the cyclo­octa­diene (COD) ligand.

Research communications

Research communications are designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Authors are encouraged to report more than one structure in the same communication and also to include the results of investigations with other techniques. The Research communications format makes Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
