The anhydrous salts morpholinium (tetrahydro-2-H-1,4-oxazin-4-ium) phenoxyacetate, C4H10NO+·C8H7O3−, (I), morpholinium (4-fluorophenoxy)acetate, C4H10NO+·C8H6 FO3−, (II), and isomeric morpholinium (3,5-dichlorophenoxy)acetate (3,5-D), (III), and morpholinium (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), C4H10NO+·C8H5Cl2O3−, (IV), have been determined and their hydrogen-bonded structures are described. In the crystals of (I), (III) and (IV), one of the the aminium H atoms is involved in a three-centre asymmetric cation–anion N—H...O,O′R12(4) hydrogen-bonding interaction with the two carboxyl O-atom acceptors of the anion. With the structure of (II), the primary N—H...O interaction is linear. In the structures of (I), (II) and (III), the second N—H...Ocarboxylhydrogen bond generates one-dimensional chain structures extending in all cases along [100]. With (IV), the ion pairs are linked though inversion-related N—H...O hydrogen bonds [graph setR42(8)], giving a cyclic heterotetrameric structure.

Here, we report an exquisite strategy that the B12 enzymes exploit to manipulate the reactivity of their radical intermediate (Adenosyl radical). Based on the quantum-mechanic calculations, these enzymes utilize a little known long-ranged through space quantum Coulombic effect (QCE). The QCE causes the radical to acquire an electronic structure that contradicts the Aufbau Principle: The singly-occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) is no longer the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the radical is unable to react with neighbouring substrates. The dynamic nature of the enzyme and its structure is expected to be such that the reactivity of the radical is not restored until it is moved into close proximity of the target substrate. We found that the hydrogen bonding interaction between the nearby conserved glutamate residue and the ribose ring of Adenosyl radical plays a crucial role in manipulating the orbital ordering
