Cover illustration: Copper(I) iodide complexes show a wide variety of structural properties. One of the five reported crystal structures of such complexes with 6-thioxopiperidin-2-one (SNO) displays new polymeric sheets based on fused [Cu3I3] six-membered rings with a screw-boat conformation. Parallel sheets are connected by SNO ligands interacting by N-H...O hydrogen bonds. See: Wheaton, Guzei & Berry [Acta Cryst. (2020). E76, 1336-1344].

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.
