The crystal structures of two organosilicon compounds are studied by X-ray diffraction. Crystals of trans-2,8-dihydroxy-2,4,4′,6,6′,8,10,10′,12,12′-decamethyl-5,11-dicarbacyclohexasiloxane, C₁₂H₃₆O₆Si₆, (I) are studied at 293 K [a = b = 16.310(4) Å, c = 9.849(3) Å, V = 2620(1) ų, d_calcd = 1.128 g/cm³, space group P4(2)/n, Z = 4, 3370 reflections, wR2 = 0.1167, R1 = 0.0472 for 2291 reflections with F > 4σ(F)]. 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. The methylene groups in II, in distinction to those in I, are characterized by a standard tetrahedral coordination.

Three-dimensional structure of thymidine phosphorylase from E. coli in complex with 3′-azido-2′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine

The three-dimensional structures of thymidine phosphorylase from E. coli containing the bound sulfate ion in the phosphate-binding site and of the complex of thymidine phosphorylase with sulfate in the phosphate-binding site and the inhibitor 3′-azido-2′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine (N₃F-ddU) in the nucleoside-binding site were determined at 1.55 and 1.50 Å resolution, respectively. The amino-acid residues involved in the ligand binding and the hydrogen-bond network in the active site occupied by a large number of bound water molecules are described. A comparison of the structure of thymidine phosphorylase in complex with N₃F-ddU with the structure of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase from St. Aureus in complex with the natural substrate thymidine (PDB_ID: 3H5Q) shows that the substrate and the inhibitor in the nucleoside-binding pocket have different orientations. It is suggested that the position of N₃F-ddU can be influenced by the presence of the azido group, which prefers a hydrophobic environment. In both structures, the active sites of the subunits are in the open conformation.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of 6,6′-Dimethoxy-gossypol:Acetic acid (1:1)

Abstract By crystallization from dilute solutions of acetic acid (2–4%) in diethyl ether, acetone, or methyl ethyl ketone, 6,6′-dimethoxy-gossypol forms a solvate with acetic acid in a one-to-one molar ratio. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic P space group and has unit cell dimensions of a = 7.5793(10) ?, b = 14.7211(19) ? and c = 14.740(2) ?, α = 106.260(3)°, β = 102.310(3)°, γ = 95.975(3)°, Z = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to an R1 value of 0.0394 on 4252 observed reflections. Enantiomeric pairs of dimethoxy-gossypol molecules form centrosymmetic dimers that are characterized by a pair of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and by hydrophobic stacking between pairs of naphthalene rings. The acetic acid molecule accepts a hydrogen bond from a gossypol hydroxyl group and donates to a hydrogen bond with one of the aldehyde groups of an adjacent gossypol molecule. Although there is less hydrogen bonding in this structure than in the gossypol:acetic acid (1:1) structure, the molecular packing of the two compounds is similar.

Conformational diversity: Six conformers side-by-side in the crystal cell of 2,2′,7,7′-tetramethoxy-9,9′-spiro-9-silabifluorene

X-ray crystal structure analysis of a sublimation-grown spiro silabifluorene, that is highly fluorescent in the violet-blue, established that there are six cocrystallized ordered conformers in the asymmetric unit. Crystals were grown by a vapor transport method under argon gas flow at temperatures between 255–280°C. As expected, there are no cocrystallized solvent molecules. There is no π-stacking of the aryl groups. There is no possibility for normal hydrogen bond formation; however, several CH⋯π bonds occur. The packing is efficient with a density of 1.24 g/cc. Each conformer deviates from tetrahedral geometry around the Si atom. Cell data are: C₂₈H₂₄O₄Si×12, sp. gr.
