Cover illustration: The cover picture shows the strong and highly structured diffuse scattering from polymorph (II) of N-(p-methylbenzylidene)-p-methylaniline (MeMe) and indicates strongly correlated molecular motion not apparent from the Bragg analysis. Unlike polymorphs (I) and (III), which are disordered, polymorph (II) appears from Bragg scattering to be a perfectly normal ordered molecular crystal. The section of diffuse scattering data shown is part of a full three-dimensional data set recorded on beamline 1-ID-C at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne, Illinois. Courtesy of Professor T. R. Welberry and Andrew Beasley. |

Synopsis: Twelve families with the space group P3m1 are shown to satisfy the structural criteria for, and hence may be predicted to exhibit, the property of ferroelectricity. Sixteen other families are likely to be nonpolar with a similar number having reduced predictive properties.

-glutamine and the use of Hirshfeld surfaces and graph-set notation to investigate the hydrogen bonding present in the structure up to 4.9 GPaSynopsis: The following article explores the effect of high pressure on the L--glutamine crystal structure. Results show that the main structural feature to be influenced by pressure is the hydrogen bond network.

Synopsis: 3-Aminopropan-1-ol molecules change their conformation from a pseudo-ring in the vapour and liquid to an extended one in the solid state, and the intramolecular hydrogen bonds are replaced with intermolecular ones. The liquid freezes at 0.1 MPa/284 K and at 0.13 GPa/296 K in the same polar monoclinic structure, space group Cc.

Synopsis: The crystal structure of a 4:1 complex between N-methylpiperidine betaine (N-carboxymethyl-N-methylpiperidinium inner salt) and hexafluorosilicic acid reveals six different dimers of hemiprotonated betaine molecules, formed via very short OHO hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic functions.

Synopsis: It is shown that hydrogen bonds from O-H and N-H donors to the S acceptors of thioureas and thioamides are relatively longer (by 
0.25 Å) and weaker (by 12 kJ mol-1) than hydrogen bonds to the analogous O-acceptor compounds.

Synopsis: X-ray and NMR studies of meso and chiral tartarodinitriles reveal their diverse conformational preferences compared with tartrates and NH-tartramides, and point to the gauche effects, local dipolar and strong intermolecular interactions as structure determining factors.

Synopsis: The applicability of the Wang-Liebau polyhedron eccentricity parameter in the bond-valence model has been found to be doubtful: the correlations between the values of the polyhedron eccentricity parameters and the bond-valence sums calculated for the cations with one lone electron pair are probably an artifact of the poorly determined bond-valence parameters.
