Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface of ethyl 2-[2-(methylsulfanyl)-5-oxo-4,4-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl]acetate (thiophenytoin derivative)
The dihydroimidazole ring in the title molecule is slightly distorted and the lone pair on the tri-coordinate nitrogen atom is involved in intra-ring π bonding. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers, which are connected along the a- and c-axis directions by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.

Crystal structures of seven gold(III) complexes of the form LAuX3 (L = substituted pyridine, X = Cl or Br)
The structures of seven complexes of general formula LAuX3 (L = methylpyridines or dimethylpyridines, X = Cl or Br) are presented. In the crystal packing, a frequent feature is the offset-stacked and approximately rectangular dimeric moiety (Au—X)2, linked by Au⋯X contacts.

Structural multiplicity in a multi-component solvated crystal of the antiretroviral protease inhibitor Lopinavir
The multi-component solvated Lopinavir crystal was prepared using evaporative methods. The crystal structure is unusual in that although Lopinavir was crystallized in ethylene glycol (ethane-1,2-diol) alone, the unit cell contains four different components, totalling 18 molecules. The stoichiometric ratio of this crystal is eight lopinavir molecules, two ethane-1,2-diol molecules, one (E)-ethene-1,2-diol (C2H4O2) and seven water molecules.
