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.

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.

The crystal structure of calcium atorvastatin trihydrate was redetermined from previously published synchrotron powder diffraction data to give a much-improved agreement with two independent density-functional theory calculations.

We show that the interplay of multiple magnetic sublattices in Er2CuMnMn4O12 leads to four magnetic phase transitions characterized by the onset of ferrimagnetic order, spin-reorientation, spin canting, and the polarization of Er ions. While we elucidate numerous features of this complex magnetic system, the exact nature of the low-temperature coupling between erbium and manganese, and the origin of a k = (0, 0, ½) modulation, remain intriguing topics for future studies.
