The thio­nocarbonate of trans-cyclo­octenediol, C9H12O2S, crystallizes with a 9/1 disorder in the position of the R,R and S,S-enanti­omers. As a result of trans-annulation, both rings adopt a twist conformation.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, inter­molecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form a two-dimensional supra­molecular network along the ac plane, contributing to the cohesion of the crystal.

In the title compound, the symmetric phosphate derived from para-chloro­phenol and phospho­ric acid, two of the three aromatic moieties adopt syn-orientation towards the P&z-dbnd;O bond while the last chloro­phenol ring is pointing away from this bond. In the extended structure, C—H⋯O bonds connect the individual mol­ecules into sheets lying perpendicular to the crystallographic b axis.

The crystal structure of a neo­pentyl­oxypillar[5]arene with two pyridine mol­ecules encapsulated in the macrocyclic cavity is reported.

The title compound was synthesized by the condensation between tri­fluoro­methyl­aniline and di­chloro­salicyl­aldehyde by nucleophilic addition, forming a hemiaminal, followed by a dehydration to generate an imine. The compound crystallizes in an ortho­rhom­bic Pbca (Z = 8) space group with a dihedral angle of 44.70 (5)° between the two aromatic rings. In the crystal, the mol­ecules pack together to form a zigzag pattern along the c axis.

The crystal structure of a pyrrolidine analogue obtained from the stereoselective reduction of the enolic form of 4-hy­droxy-2-furyl-pyrrole­carboxyl­ate is described.

A recently discovered β polymorph of 1,3-diacetylpyrene has turned out to be a prominent negative thermal expansion material. Its unique properties can be linked to anharmonic oscillations in the crystal structure. The onset and development of anharmonic behavior have been successfully tracked over a wide temperature range by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. Sufficient diffraction data quality combined with modern quantum crystallography tools allowed a thorough analysis of the elusive anharmonic effects for a moderate-scattering purely organic compound.

This study explores the high-pressure behavior of benzo[a]pyrene, revealing two previously unknown polymorphs at 4.8 and 7.1 GPa. These findings enhance our understanding of the structural dynamics and stability of polycyclic aromatic hydro­carbons under extreme conditions.

(Time-resolved) macromolecular crystallography at the new ESRF-ID29 beamline is described.

The structure of Ni3V2O8 was studied using X-ray diffraction at temperatures of 299 and 1323 K. No phase transition at high temperature is observed. The variation in V—O bond length is small as compared with the Ni—O bond due to its high rigidity.

Crystal structure and topology of two new thiosulfates formed with mono- and diprotonated species of 1-methylpiperazine is reported.

The results of the seventh blind test of crystal structure prediction are presented, focusing on structure generation methods.
