Crystallization and Preliminary Crystallographic Studies of Luffaculin 1,a Ribosome-inactivating Protein from the Seeds of Luffa Acutangula

1 INTRODUCTION The ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases[1, 2] which inactivate ribosomes by cleaving a single N–C glycosidic bond between adenine and ribose at A4324 in the 28s rRNA of rat. Because of the removal of one adenine from rRNA, elongation factorⅡ(EF-2) can not bind to the 60S subunit, so RIPs can arrest protein synthesis. RIPs can be classified into three types based on the struc- tures of genes and mature proteins[3]. Type 1 RIPs with molec…

Bridged bis-pyridinylimino dinickel(II) complexes: Syntheses, characterization, ethylene oligomerization and polymerization

A series of bridged bis(pyridinylimino) ligands were efficiently synthesized through the condensation reaction of 4,4′-methylene-bis(2,6-disubstituted aniline) with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde or 2-benzoylpyridine. They reacted with (DME)NiBr₂ to form dinuclear Ni(II) complexes. All resultant compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra as well as the single-crystal X-ray diffraction to confirm the structures of ligands and complexes. Activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO), these nickel complexes showed considerably good activities for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization. Their catalytic activities and the properties of PEs obtained were depended on the arched environment of ligand and reaction conditions.     

一个二维梯状化合物[Ni(μ1，5-dca)2(en)]n的合成，结构和磁性(英)

A new nickel(Ⅱ)-dicyanamide compound, [Ni(dca)₂(en)]_n (1) (dca=dicyanamide anion, [N(CN)₂]^-); en=ethylene diamine), has been synthesized and its structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with unit cell dimensions: a=0.694 3(1) nm, b=1.041 5(2) nm, c=1.4132(2) nm, and β=90.381°, Z=4, V=1.011 0(3) nm³. In this compound, the adjacent nickel atoms are connected by dca all in μ_1，5-bridging mode to form ladder-like units, which are linked with double dca bridges to generate a regular infinite stair-like structure. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility was also characterized for this compound. CCDC: 208276.

Characterization of the Nanoscale Microstructure of an Immersion Silver on Sputtered Copper

1 INTRODUCTION Silver and its compounds have received much attention due to their current and potential applica- tions in many areas[1, 2]. As a metal with the highest electrical and thermal conductivities, silver was one of the most important noble metals used in electrical industries in the last century. Several decades ago, however, the development of silver application in electronic area seemed not so quick. The fear for some undesirable phenomena involving silver, like “electrochemi…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Glycinato Copper Compound

1 INTRODUCTION Amino acids (AA) are some of the most important biological ligands, and metal ions are known to par- ticipate in a variety of biological reactions, therefore, research on the coordination behavior of metal-ami- no acid complexes is one of the most essential ele- ments of chemical biology[1, 2]. For over three deca- des their structures have been of considerable inte- rest and importance in coordination chemistry[2, 3]. Studies of these relatively simple complexes may en- ha…
