First Isolation and Structure Elucidation of GDNT-β-Glu – Tetraether Lipid Fragment from Archaeal Sulfolobus Strains

Due to their special chemical structure, tetraether lipids (TEL) represent essential elements of archaeal membranes, providing these organisms with extraordinary properties. Here we describe the characterization of a newly isolated structural element of the main lipids. The TEL fragment GDNT-β-Glu was isolated from Sulfolobus metallicus and characterized in terms of its chemical structure by NMR- and MS-investigations. The obtained data are dissimilar to analogically derived established structures – in essence, the binding relationships in the polar head group are re-determined and verified. With this work, we provide an important contribution to the structure elucidation of intact TEL also contained in other Sulfolobus strains such as Solfulobus acidocaldarius and Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mononuclear Cadmium（Ⅱ） Cryptate Derived from the Condensation of Tri（2-aminoethyl）amine with Glyoxal

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years many efforts have been devoted to the preparation and characterization of pendant- arm macrocyclic complexes due to the fact that the ligating groups attached to the macrocyclic skeleton can offer additional donor groups to maintain the coordination sphere of metals in the macrocycles[1～7]. In this way, functionalized pendant arm macrocyc- lic complexes have been designed and prepared so as to mimic the structures and properties of certain metalloenzymes and…

Synthesis and Structure Elucidation of Celangulin Derivatives

Celangulins are sesquiterpene polyol esters based on a core structure known as β-dihydroagarofuran from Celastrus angulatus Max. Some of them are environment acceptable-pesticides.

The Cu（Ⅱ） atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by one I atom in the apical position, two S atoms from a prdtc ligand and two N atoms from a phen ligand in the basal plane. There exist face-to-face aromatic π-π stacking interactions between adjacent phen ligands stabilizing the structure and making the complex assemble into a 1D structure along the a axis. It can be concluded that the difference of the dtc flexibility and reaction conditions result in the structural difference between complex 1 and CuI（dmdtc）（phen） （dmdtc = N, N-dimethyldithiocarbamate）.
