Both 3-(4-hydroxy-3, 5-dimethoxybenzoyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene and 3-(2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene (hereafter referred to asI andII, respectively) crystallize in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space groupP2₁/n (No. 14, C _2h ⁵ ) with four formula units-per cell witha=6.866(1),b=28.638(2),c=11.830(2) Å, and =105.52(1)° anda=9.328(1),b=7.977(1),c=29.650(4) Å, and =97.87(1)°, respectively. The phase problems were solved by direct methods and the respective final full-matrix least-squares refinements converged toR=0.046 and 0.031. The structures differ in the positioning of the dimethoxy groups of the benzoyl ligands and the addition of a hydroxyl group inI. The molecules in the crystal lattice are held together by van der Waals forces plus the addition of hydrogen bonding in compoundI. Selected bond distances and angles and torsion angles are tabularized.

In this paper, the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of cis-{(±)-6,6-[[1,1-biphenyl]-2,2-diylbis(oxy)]bis-dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin} diiodoplatinum (II)·dichloromethane are presented.

The crystal structure of (1) consists of 4,4-bipyridinium(2+) cations interacting through hydrogen bonding with [Bi₂Cl₁₀]^2– dimers giving rise to endless double chains, while that of (2) is formed by 2,2-bipyridinium(2+) cations and [Bi₄Cl₂₀]^8– tetramers extensively interacting through hydrogen bonding. The different polynuclearity of the anions seems related to the different directions along which each cation can form hydrogen bond interactions.     

Conformations of barbiturates related to pentobarbitone. II. Crystal structure oftrans-5-ethyl-5-(1′,3′-dimethylbut-1′-enyl) barbituric acid

Crystals oftrans-5-ethyl-5-(1,3-dimethylbut-1-enyl) barbituric acid (13M1TB), mp 183° C, are triclinic witha = 7.677(2),b = 10.393(3),c = 9.176(3) Å, = 104.331(1), = 106.919(1), = 96.494(1)°, space group P, with two molecules in the unit cell.

The 5-ethyl group is oriented under the barbiturate ring with the orientation of the but-1-enyl group directed away from the ring. This orientation is determined by the 1-methyl substituent. The molecules are linked together by N-H ... O=C hydrogen bonds across inversion centers, thus forming single ribbons alongb. Adjacent ribbons are held together in theac plane by van der Waals interactions between alternating ethyl and l,3-dimethylbut-l-enyl groups.     

Meisenheimer complex from picric acid and diisopropylcarbodiimide

X-ray structure determination of cyclobutane photodimers from (Z)-α, β-diarylacrylonitriles

Irradiation of(Z)-, -diarylacrylonitriles (1) ArCH=C(CN)Ar (a: Ar=2-thienyl, Ar=Ph;b: Ar=p-MeC₆H₄, Ar=Ph) in the solid state gives cyclobutane dimers (2) in good yield. The mass spectra of the dimers, where no fragments derived from dimers with equal groups on adjacent carbons are present, suggest a truxillic structure (head to tail dimerization). X-Ray determinations confirm a centrosymmetric arrangement with a D_2d symmetry of the cyclobutane ring and a puckering constant=24.0° for (2a) significantly higher than that of (2b) (=19.2°).

The complex is emissive at 77 K in the solid state with an emission maximum at 574± 2 nm with a luminescence lifetime of 7.4± 0.4 ns. The unstructured emission is assigned as a metal-mediated ligand-to-ligand –^* charge transfer transition.     

High resolution crystal structure of ferricytochrome c′ from Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Cytochrome c isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain R26 (RSCP) crystallizes as a dimer of two identical 14-kDa subunits, in trigonal space group P3₁, with cell parameters a, b = 48.10 Å, c = 115.80 Å. The crystal structure of RSCP has been solved by molecular replacement using cytochrome c from Rhodobacter capsulatus (PDB ID: 1CPQ) as a search model. To ensure effective phase bias removal, the RSCP model was iteratively built into maps generated by a modified wARP procedure, Shake&wARP. The 1.8 Å model (PDB ID: 1GQA) has been refined to an R = 0.204 and freeR = 0.254. Each subunit consists of four antiparallel -helices, with the pentacoordinate heme covalently bound to a C–X–Y–C–H motif near the C-terminus. F14, located on helix A, blocks direct access to what would be the sixth distal ligand binding site of the heme. The dimer subunits form a flattened X shape, intermediate between the Type 1 and Type 2 cytochromes c. The presence of the aromatic F14 and a deep channel between helices B and C places RSCP into Group 1 cytochromes c. Clear electron density has revealed that the amino acid sequences for the cytochrome c from strains R26 and 2.4.1 are identical.     

Structure and molecular chirality of the acetonitrile adduct of the 2:1 salt of quinidine with biphenyl 5,5′-dinitro-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid (5,5′-dinitrodiphenic acid)

The molecule of the 21 salt consists of two quinidine cations and the 5,5-dinitrodiphenic anion. Both of the quinidine cations are protonated at the nitrogen atoms of the quinuclidine fragments. Owing to the interlocking hydrogen bonds between quinidine and the dinitrodiphenic ions, a rigid structure of the salt molecule has been formed. The alkaloid molecular conformation around the C(8)-C(9) bond is open. The conformational parameters of 5,5-dinitrodiphenic anion are considerably changed in comparison with the conformation of diphenic acid in the solid state. The absolute configuration of biphenyl 5,5-dinitro-2,2-dicarboxylic anion (R) is defined by the negative torsion angles around the line which connects the centers of both phenyl rings, and is the reverse of that observed in the diphenic acid-quinine salt. The present data confirm the observation that the chirality of the salt is controlled by the chirality of theCinchona alkaloid molecule.
