X-ray crystal structure of the complex of enniatin B with KNCS

The crystal structure of the complex of enniatin B, cyclo[-(L-MeVal-D-Hyi)₃-](C₃₃H₅₇N₃O₉), with KNCS is determined by X-ray diffraction [CuKαradiation, R = 0.0594 for 7925 reflections with I > 2 σ(I)]. The crystals belong to the space group P3, a = 24.448(5) Å, c = 23.578(5) Å, V = 12277(9) ų, and Z = 6. The unit cell contains 12 symmetrically independent molecules of the antibiotic, which are located on crystallographic threefold axes. The K⁺ ions are located on the threefold axes and are coordinated by the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the hydroxy acid or amino acid residues of the enniatin molecules to form prisms, twisted prisms, and antiprisms. All the independent enniatin molecules retain the principal conformational features revealed earlier in the structures of enniatin B and its complexes.

In structure II, the oxygen atom and the methylene group are statistically disordered as a result of the location of the molecule at the center of symmetry. Although the SiCSi angle [122.1(1)°] differs noticeably from the tetrahedral angle, its value is characteristic of cyclohexasiloxanes and is not related to the disorder.

Crystals of trans-1,4-dihydroxy-1,4-dimethyl-1,4-disilacyclohexane, C₆H₁₆O₂Si₂, (II) are studied at 110 K [a = 6.8253(5) Å, b = 9.5495(8) Å, c = 12.0064(10) Å, α = 101.774(2)°, β = 102.203(2)°, γ = 95.068(2)°, V = 741.8(1) ų, d_calcd = 1.184 g/cm³, space group \(P\bar 1\), Z = 3, 6267 reflections, wR2 = 0.1052, R1 = 0.0421 for 3299 reflections with F > 4σ(F)]. It is found that the conformation of the ring in compound I, which contains two methylene groups in the cyclohexasiloxane ring, differs from those in its analogues containing only oxygen atoms or one methylene group in the ring. The noticeable difference between the SiCSi angle [123.0(2)°] and the tetrahedral angle is characteristic of cyclohexasiloxanes. Structure II contains three independent molecules with very close conformations. The cyclohexane rings adopt a chair conformation.

Crystal and molecular structure of a diradical, 1,3-dinitro-4,6-di[3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl)-pyrrolidinyl-N-oxide]aminobenzene monohydrate

The crystal structure of 1,3-dinitro-4,6-di[3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl)pyrrolidinyl-N-oxide] aminobenzene monohydrate has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods using the 1793 unique reflections for which 3 ° < 2θ < 40 ° andI > 3σ(I), and refined to a conventionalR index of 0.032. Counter methods using MoKα radiation were employed. Crystals form in the triclinic space groupP¯1 (No. 2) witha = 16.160(10),b = 11.686(6),c = 7.211(5) Å, α = 95.87(5) °, β = 98.67(5) °, and γ = 107.74(4) °. All hydrogen atom positions were determined. Intramolecular hydrogen-bonding between the nitro and amino groups has, in part, caused the central 20 atoms of the molecule, counting hydrogen atoms, to lie in an approximate plane. The benzene ring is distorted by its substituents to the symmetrymm2(C _2v ). The internal angles of the benzene ring range from 116.1 ° to 124.7 ° (esd = 0.3 °), and its bonds are between 1.368 Å and 1.436 Å (esd = 0.004 Å) in length. Four of the five atoms in each pyrrolidine ring are nearly coplanar; the remaining atom, the carbon bonded to the amine nitrogen in each case, lies approximately 0.53 Å from the corresponding plane. The best four-atom planes of the two pyrrolidine rings are each near to perpendicular to the central plane, giving the molecule a lobster-like appearance; they are each rotated approximately 15 °, in opposite senses, from perpendicular. The intramolecular distance between the two pyrrolidine nitrogen atoms, to which the unpaired charges can be assigned, is 7.68 Å. One of the nitroso oxygen atoms is hydrogen-bonded by two symmetry-equivalent water molecules. The inversion center necessitates that the remaining hydrogen atoms of these water molecules both hydrogen-bond to a symmetry-equivalent nitroso oxygen atom to give a hydrogen-bonded four-oxygen ring.
