Polymeric silver(I) complexes with pyridyl dithioether ligands: experimental and theoretical investigations on the coordination properties of the ligands

The reactions of four flexible tetradentate ligands, 1,3-bis(2-pyridylthio)propane (L1), 1,4-bis(2-pyridylthio)butane (L2), 1,5-bis(2-pyridylthio)pentane (L3) and 1,6-bis(2-pyridylthio)hexane (L4) with AgX (X = BF4-, ClO4-, PF6-, or CF3SO3-) lead to the formation of seven new complexes: [AgL1(BF4)]2 (1), [[AgL2](ClO4)]infinity (2), [[AgL2(CH3CN)](PF6)]infinity (3), [[AgL3](BF4)(CHCl3)]2 (4), [[AgL3(CF3SO3)](CH3OH)(0.5)]infinity (5), [[Ag2L4(2)](BF4)2]infinity (6), and [[AgL4](PF6)]infinity (7), which have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal X-ray analyses show that complexes 1 and 4 possess dinuclear macrometallacyclic structures, and complexes 2, 3 and 5-7 take chain structures. In all the complexes, the nitrogen atoms of ligands preferentially coordinate to silver atoms to form normal coordination bonds, while the sulfur atoms only show weak interactions with silver atoms and the intermolecular AgS weak contacts connect the low-dimensional complexes into high-dimensional supramolecular networks. Additional weak interactions, such as pi-pi stacking, F...F weak interactions, Ag...O contacts or C-H...O hydrogen bonds, also help to stabilize the crystal structures. It was found that the parity of the -(CH2)n- spacers (n = 3-6) affect the orientation of the two terminal pyridyl rings, thereby significantly influence the framework formations of these complexes. The coordination features of ligands and their conformation changes between free and coordination states have been investigated by DFT calculations.     

Dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy of jet-cooled HCF and DCF: Vibrational structure of the X 1A' state

We recorded dispersed fluorescence (DF) spectra following excitation of the pure bending levels 2(0) (n) and the combination states 1(0) (1)2(0) (n) and 2(0) (n)3(0) (1) in the A 1A"<--X 1A' system of HCF and DCF. Spectra were measured with a 0.3 m spectrograph equipped with a gated intensified charge coupled device (CCD) detector and obtained under jet-cooled conditions using a pulsed discharge source. The DF spectra reveal rich detail concerning the vibrational structure of the X state up to 10 000 cm(-1). For HCF, resonances among the nearly degenerate levels 1(1)2n, 2n+13(1), and 2n+2 produce a polyadlike structure in the spectrum, and the usual effective spectroscopic Hamiltonian (Dunham expansion) poorly reproduces the experimental term energies. In contrast, this Hamiltonian works well for the term energies of DCF. Density functional calculations of the ground state vibrational frequencies were performed; the results are in excellent agreement with the experimentally derived vibrational parameters. The search for perturbations involving the low-lying a 3A" state is described.     

Ce10Cl4Ga5 and Ln3ClGa4 (Ln = La,Ce): reduced halides or oxidized intermetallics?

The compounds Ce(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) and Ln(3)ClGa(4) (Ln = La, Ce) were synthesized from stoichiometric mixtures of Ln, LnCl(3), and Ga under Ar atmosphere in sealed Ta ampules at 910-1020 degrees C for 25-26 days. Ce(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) is isostructural to La(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) (space group I4/mcm, No. 140) with lattice constants a = 7.9546(11) A, c = 31.793(6) A. Ln(3)ClGa(4) represents a new structural type, also in the space group I4/mcm, with a = 8.1955(8) and 8.1123(11) A, c = 11.363(2) and 11.229(2) A, respectively, for Ln = La and Ce. Ce(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) features building blocks of Ga-centered Ce(6) trigonal prisms and distinctive two-dimensional intermetallic CuAl(2) and U(3)Si(2) type nets. Its electronic structure falls within the realm of reduced rare-earth halides. Ln(3)ClGa(4) also contains the intermetallic CuAl(2) type nets, but the interstitials are inverted: The building blocks are Cl-centered Ln(6) octahedra. Its electronic structure is characterized by strong peripheral Ln-Ga bonding stabilizing the Ln(6)Cl octahedron which normally would have its Ln-Ln antibonding orbitals filled with electrons from interstitials beyond chalcogen. Magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements confirm the metallic nature of all three compounds.

Simulation of large-scale production of a soluble recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli using an intein-mediated purification system

Inteins are self-cleavable proteins that under reducing conditions can be cleaved from a recombinant target protein. Industrially, an intein-based system could potentially reduce production costs of recombinant proteins by facilitating a highly selective affinity purification using an inexpensive substrate such as chitin. In this study, SuperPro Designer was used to simulate the large-scale recovery of a soluble recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli using an intein-mediated purification process based on the commercially available IMPACT system. The intein process was also compared with a conventional process simulated by SuperPro. The intein purification process initially simulated was significantly more expensive than the conventional process, primarily owing to the properties of the chitin resin and high reducing-agent (dithiothreitol [DTT]) raw material cost. The intein process was sensitive to the chitin resin binding capacity, cleavage efficiency of the intein fusion protein, the size of the target protein relative to the intein tag, and DTT costs. An optimized intein purification process considerably reduced costs by simulating an improved chitin resin and alternative reducing agents. Thus, to realize the full potential of intein purification processes, research is needed to improve the properties of chitin resin and to find alternative, inexpensive raw materials.
