Two new structures of semisynthetic ergot alkaloid terguride created by unusual number of symmetry-independent molecules were determined by X-ray diffraction methods at 150 K. Form A (monoclinic, P212121, Z = 12) contains three symmetry-independent terguride molecules and two molecules of water in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. The form CA (monoclinic, P21, Z = 8) is an anhydrate remarkable by the presence of four symmetry-independent molecules in the crystal structure. Conformations of twelve symmetry-independent molecules that were found in four already described terguride structures are compared with torsion angles obtained by ab initio quantum-mechanical calculations for the simplified model of N-cyclohexyl-N'-diethylurea.

1-[N-(4-Iodophenyl)]aminomethylidene-2(1H)naphthalenone (1) (C17H12NOI) has been studied by X-ray analysis, IR, 1H NMR, UV and AM1 semi-empirical quantum mechanical methods. It crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 4.844(3), b = 21.428(2), c = 13.726(2) Å, ß = 93.07(2)° (R1 =0.032 for 4132 reflections [I > 2σ(I)]). The title compound is not planar and an intramolecular hydrogen bond connects O1 and N1 [2.530(4) Å]. Complementary IR, 1H NMR and UV measurements out. Tautomerism and conformations of the title semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculations and the results are compared with the X-ray data.

The preparation of [Pt(tmdz)Cl2] (tmdz = 5,5,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazacycloheptane) is described. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to an R value of 0·048 (764F). The crystals are triclinic, space group P -1, a 8·023(2), b 10·874(4), c 14·207(3) Å, α 95·34(3), β 94·96(2), γ 94·97(3)°. N.m.r. studies and molecular mechanics methods show that only one diastereomer of the complex—that observed in the crystal structure—is energetically accessible. In total DNA binding studies, [Pt(tmdz)Cl2] binds less effectively and at a lower rate than cisplatin. The complex reacts with dG and d(GpG) to form a variety of isomeric products, as indicated by h.p.l.c. analysis.

A simple, one-pot process for the construction of substituted spiro[5,5]undecane-1,5,9-triones using aromatic aldehydes and Meldrum’s acid, and aniline as a catalyst, is reported. Fifteen compounds were synthesized, and the trans/cis ratios were calculated based on 1H NMR analyses of the unpurified products. Quantum mechanical calculations and X-ray diffraction were undertaken to identify the configuration of compound 2a. The proposed mechanisms for these reactions are presented in this paper. In contrast to previous literature, this method endows excellent diastereoselectivity to a series of trans-substituted derivatives. The method is characterized by its simple operation, commercial availability of all materials, mild reaction conditions and moderate-to-good chemical yields.

A central topic in the formulation of solid medicinal products is the identification of a suitable solid form of an active compound to obtain optimal physicochemical properties. To this end, disorder may be important for relevant crystal properties like stability. For example, disorder may account for more than 10% of the crystal volume. A rational approach to solid-form selection is typically based on structural information at atomic resolution. In practice, pharmaceutical compounds are not always well-behaved and especially in the study of polymorphs or compounds with flexible groups it can be challenging to obtain crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) is a popular alternative, but it generally requires supplementary information like molecular connectivity in simple cases or computational models to solve larger structures. Computational modeling has come a long way and accurate and reliable structures of pharmaceutically relevant compounds can indeed be obtained using laboratory PXRD measurements and quantum-mechanical calculations [1]. The major limitation of quantum mechanical calculations, however, is that they do not consider time nor temperature but only static structures at zero temperature. Thus, these methods cannot model phenomena related to disorder. The molecular dynamics (MD) method can add temperature as well as time and spatial resolution to a model and has in recent years developed to be a scalable, reliable and increasingly available technique. As more and more groups from academia as well as industry employ MD in their work, the development will increase to gain momentum in the coming years. We use MD in a high-performance setting to study crystal properties that are relevant for pharmaceutical research. Using a combination of models from first principles and MD we are able to study highly disordered structures and polymorphs on the basis of PXRD data.

The conformation and configuration of the α-amino oximes derived from the terpene hydrocarbons car-3-ene, limonene and α- pinene have been determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy (high-field 1H n.m.r., 13C n.m.r., INADEQUATE technique), molecular mechanics calculations and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The crystal structure of (lS,3S,6R)-3-dimethylamino-caran-4-one (E)-oxime has been determined by X-ray diffraction; crystals are orthorhombic, space group P 212121 with a 11.421(2), b 13.223(2), c 16.992(4) �, Z 8. Refinement on 1730 observed reflections measured with Cu K α radiation converged at R 0.053.
