One Porous Supramolecular Complex Assembled from Ionic and Neutral Hydrogen-bonds of N–H···O and C–H···O

Abstract  

The imidazolyl derived complex N,N′-butylenebis(imidazole):(oxalic acid)_0.5 was prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 4.4373(9) ?, b = 12.882(3) ?, c = 15.319(3) ?, α = 99.91(3)°, β = 94.53(3)°, γ = 98.72(3)°, V = 847.7(3) ?³, Z = 2. Two N,N′-butylenebis(imidazole) and two oxalic acid molecules form an annulus via intermolecular hydrogen bonds, with internal dimensions of about 7.1 × 11.1 ?. Neighboring annuluses were connected by N–H···O and C–H···O interactions to form 1D double chain structure. Adjacent double chains stacked just above each other along the a-axis direction, this arrangement of the double chains leads the extended supramolecular architecture to show a three-dimensional porous network.     

Crystal structure and hydrogen-bonding system of cholic acid hemihydrate,C24H40O5·1/2H2O

Crystals of the hemihydrate of this bile acid are hexagonal, space groupP6₅22, a=b=13.736(8)Å,c=85.06(6)Å,V=13,899ų. The asymmetric unit contains two independent steroid molecules and one water molecule, the latter disordered over two nonequivalent positions.Z=12[2(C₂₄H₄₀O₅)·1(H₂O)],F(000)=5496. Structure solution by direct methods; refinement by least-squares, toR=0.072. The complex hydrogen-bond system comprises: (a) three standard ordered O-HO hydrogen-bonds; (b) what is probably a symmetrically hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimer, with a twofold rotation axisin the plane of the two carboxyl groups; (c) helical hydrogen-bonding chains about each 6₅ axis, disordered over four possible arrangements. In these helical chains, the six independent hydrogen-bonds can as a group be in either of two systems of nearly equivalent flip-flop arrangements: O-HO OH-O. Each helical system includes water, which can occupy either of two sites; thus, there is further disorder involving two sets of nonequivalent hydrogen-bonds with water as donor and acceptor. Many aggregation features here differ markedly from those in the crystal structures of either anhydrous cholic acid or cholic acid monohydrate.

Analysis of C–H···O Intermolecular Interactions in 4-Androstene-3,17-dione

Abstract  4-Androstene-3,17-dione was synthesized for its crystallographic analysis and to investigate the role of intra- and intermolecular interactions in steroids. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with unit cell parameters, a = 7.330(2) ?, b = 13.095(11) ?, c = 16.856(17) ?, V = 1,618(5) ?³ and Z = 4. The structure has been solved by direct methods using X-ray diffraction techniques and the refined final reliability index for the computed structure is 0.033 for 1,655 observed reflections. Two six-membered rings B and C exist in chair conformation while ring A occupies a sofa conformation. The five-membered ring D depicts envelope conformation. The C–H···O intermolecular hydrogen interaction results into a ring like configuration which makes the dimers. Index Abstract   Androgen is the generic term for any natural or synthetic compound, usually a steroid hormone, that stimulates or controls the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors [1]. Androgens have been used in breast cancer when excision or radiotherapy have failed to control the progress of local recurrent disease. They are also used in case where the primary tumour is inoperable or is unsuited for, or resistant to, radiotherapy. Androgens are also believed to be responsible for linear bone growth in both males and females, probably in conjunction with somatotrophin [2]. In continuation to our work on the single crystal growth of X-ray diffraction quality crystals and crystallographic analysis of steroidal molecules, [3-7] synthesis and crystallographic study 4-androstene-3,17-dione is reported in this paper.     

Influences of cooperative hydrogen bonding economy on protein-nucleic acid complexation: Structure of unidecahydrated Inosine C5′-monophosphate and L-glutamine (2C10H13N4O8P · C5H10N2O3 · 11H2O) cocrystal at atomic resolution

The crystal structure of a unidecahydrated co-complex between two Inosine 5-monophosphate (IMP) and one L-glutamine has been determined at atomic resolution by X-ray crystallographic methods. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁ with cell dimensions a = 8.690(2), b = 21.900(3), c = 12.370(1) Å, and = 110.59(3)°. This structure reveals the recognition mechanism of glutamine to the nucleotide through direct and water-mediated hydrogen bonds. The phosphate oxygen (O23) seems to prefer the nonspecific interaction with the functional sites of glutamine (NA···O23 = 2.672, OH···O23 = 3.063, OE···O23 = 3.104 Å), whereas the bases prefer specific (N23···O = 2.874 Å) bindings. But here no specific interaction has been observed at N17 and N27, which were observed in serine—IMP complex. However, the solvent mediated N17···OW3···N27 hydrogen bonds for stabilization of the stacked purine bases have been observed as in other aminoacid-nucleotide cocrystals. The striking habit of glutamine to occupy the nearly same region of the nucleotide cocrystal as was found in the serine—IMP complex through substantial replacement of free and bound water molecules, shows certainly the cooperative hydrogen bonding economy of water molecules.
