Cover illustration: Using X-ray powder diffraction, the crystal structure of the B-form of entinostat, an antitumor drug currently in clinical trials, was determined. The authors describe in detail the combination of Monte Carlo simulated annealing techniques, Rietveld refinement and density functional techniques used. See: Kaduk & Rai [Acta Cryst. (2025).

In the title compound, bromide ions link 4-formyl-N,N-dimethylbenzenaminium molecules through intermolecular C—H⋯Br and N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, while intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations, enclosing R22(18) ring motifs, into a di-periodic network structure. The tetrabromomethane molecules fill the spaces between the layers.

N-(2-Iodophenyl)benzenesulfonamide, C12H10INO2, and N-(4,5-difluoro-2-iodophenyl)benzenesulfonamide, C12H8F2INO2S differ only in the replacement of two H atoms by F atoms, which changes the symmetry from P21/c to P1 and is accompanied by different molecular conformations and packing features.

The molecular conformation of the title compound, C24H23NO5·C3H7NO, is consolidated by intramolecular C—H⋯O O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (101) plane. Additionally, C—H⋯π interactions lead to the formation of layers parallel to the (102) plane.

The neutral title compound bis{3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-5-[6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-ido}nickel(II) methanol disolvate has a distorted pseudooctahedral coordination environment of the metal ion. As a result of their conical shape and polar nature, the molecules stack in one-dimensional columns that are bound by weak hydrogen bonds into layers, which are arranged in three dimensions without interlayer interactions below van der Waals radii.

The central pyridinic rings are approximately coplanar to the benzothiazole moieties in both the neutral molecule and the anion. Bond lengths and angles indicate considerable delocalization of the multiple bonding. The neutral molecule is E-configured about the central C=C bond, but the anion is Z. Classical and ‘weak' hydrogen bonds lead to a broad ribbon of residues.

The title complex, [Fe(C4H6N2)2(C44H28N4)]·3C7H8, possesses inversion symmetry with the iron(II) atom located on a center of symmetry. The metal atom is coordinated in a symmetric octahedral geometry by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin ligand in the equatorial plane and two N atoms of 1-methylimidazole ligands in the axial sites; the complex crystallizes with three toluene solvent molecules.
