Cover illustration: Crystallography is uniquely powerful in characterizing drug polymorphs, which can differ widely in their stability, solubility and pharmacological effectiveness. Ben & Chęcińska [Acta Cryst. (2025). E81, 1018–1022] report the crystal structure of a new orthorhombic polymorph of the promising new antifungal drug isavuconazole, C22H17F2N5, and compare its structure to the known monoclinic form.

The title compound, [Fe(C18H11N6O)2]·2CH3OH, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group, with a distorted pseudooctahedral FeII coordination sphere formed by two deprotonated tridentate 3-(benzofuran-6-yl)-5-[6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol ligands. In the crystal, molecules stack in chains along the b-axis direction connected by weak C—H(pz)⋯π(ph) interactions and linked into layers by C—H⋯N/C/O interactions, which were quantified by Hirshfeld surface and energy framework analysis.

The crystal structures of the two title hydrated phases of K3(VO4) consist of isolated vanadate tetrahedra linked via K+ cations. The difference in water content is noticeable in the hydrogen-bonding interactions, which define a finite network for the 0.56-hydrate phase and an infinite network for the 4-hydrate phase.

In the title compounds, 2,2′-{[anthracene-9,10-diylbis(methylene)]bis(sulfanediyl)}dibenzoic acid dimethylacetamide tetrasolvate, C30H22O4S2·4C4H9NO 1 and 4,4′-{[anthracene-9,10-diylbis(methylene)]bis(oxy)}dibenzoic acid dimethylformamide disolvate, C30H22O6·2C3H7NO 2, the complete anthracene–benzoic acid molecule is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. The dihedral angle between the anthracene ring system and the pendant ring is 71.43 (7) in 1 and 75.27 (12)° in 2. In the extended structures of both compounds, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the main molecules into pairs of solvent molecules to generate trimers.

The crystal structure of (C6H14N2)[Br3]2 contains diprotonated triethylenediaminium cations, the charge of which is compensated by [Br3]− anions. The crystal packing is stabilized by Br⋯Br contacts, forming two-dimensional layers, and by N—H⋯Br/C—H⋯Br interactions between cations and tribromide anions.
