Cover illustration: Co-crystals of the anti-tuberculosis drug quabodepistat with 2,5-dihydrobenzoic acid proved to be far too small (typically 1.0 × 0.2 × 0.2 µm) for conventional X-ray structure analysis. They were, however, amenable to 3D electron diffraction (3D-ED). The crystals, which exhibit extensive hydrogen bonding, are monoclinic (P21), but twinned by pseudo-merohedry.

The crystal structures of five compounds in the Al–Ru–Si system with approximate compositions ∼Ru16(Al0.78Si0.22)47 (I), ∼Ru9(Al0.70Si0.30)32 (II), ∼Ru10(Al0.67Si0.33)41 (III), ∼Ru(Al0.57Si0.43)5 (IV) and ∼Ru2(Al0.46Si0.54)9 (V) are presented. Notably, the crystal structure of (I) can be related to that of a cubic rational crystalline approximant to an icosahedral quasicrystal through crystallographic shear and then unit-cell twinning.

The title compound, a charge-neutral bis{5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-ato)-6-(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine}iron(II) dimethanol dichloroform solvate, is a high-spin complex with a distorted pseudooctahedral coordination environment of the metal ion. Due to the tapered shape and polar nature, the molecules stack in one-dimensional columns that are bound by weak hydrogen bonds into layers, which, in turn, are arranged in a three-dimensional network without interlayer interactions below van der Waals radii.
