How to use DIALS to process chemical crystallography 3D ED rotation data from pixel array detectors
Three examples of data processing of chemical crystallography 3D ED rotation data using the DIALS package are presented. These examples are taken from a standard transmission electron microscope, and from two commercial instruments, each equipped with a low-noise pixel array detector optimized for diffraction studies.

Where are the lone pairs? QC and QCT
The article by Guzmán-Hernández & Jancik [(2024). Acta Cryst. C80, 766–774] is an excellent example of how QC–QCT (quantum crystallography–quantum chemical topology) methodology can extract structural information from a crystal.

A polymeric form of basic iron(III) acetate with an acetic acid ligand
A new crystalline form of the basic ferric acetate unit is reported in which the trinuclear unit is bridged by acetate ions to form a zigzag chain. The crystal structure reveals a rare example of acetic acid coordination to an FeIII centre.
