A mononuclear cobalt(II) complex, [Co(bpy)2(NO3)](NO3)·3H2O (1) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) has been synthesized hydrothermally and the crystal structure was characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is capable of activating aerobic oxygen at atmospheric pressure. [Co(bpy)2(NO3)](NO3)·3H2O (1) was used as an active catalyst for the aerobic epoxidaion of various alkenes with isobutyraldehyde as co-reductant in acetonitrile medium. Complex 1 catalyzes the epoxidaion reaction efficiently, which reflected in high yield of products with desired selectivity.

The use of 2-pyridinealdoxime (paoH)/N,N′-donor ligand (L-L) “blend” in cobalt chemistry has afforded two cationic mononuclear cobalt(III) complexes of the general type [Co(pao)2(L-L)]+, where L-L = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy). The CoCl2/paoH/L-L (1 : 2 : 1) reaction system in MeOH gives complexes [CoIII(pao)2(phen)]Cl⋅2H2O (1⋅2H2O) and [CoIII(pao)2(bpy)]Cl⋅1.5MeOH (2⋅1.5MeOH). The structures of the complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The CoIIIions are six-coordinate, surrounded by three bidentate chelating ligands, that is, two pao-and one phen or bpy. The deprotonated oxygen atom of the pao-ligand remains uncoordinated and participates in hydrogen bonding with the solvate molecules. IR data of the complexes are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding and the known structures.

The three mononuclear cobalt(II) complexes, [Co(L)(NCX)2] (L = N,N'-di-tert-butyl-2,11-diaza[3,3](2,6)pyridinophane, and X = S (1), Se (2), and [C(CN)2] (3)), have been synthesized and characterized using variable temperature single-crystal X-ray crystallography,...

The synthesis and characterization of two 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl metal dinitrosyl dimers [(N2C5H7)M(NO)2]2 (where M = Fe or Co) are described and their X-ray crystal structures detailed. Both complexes crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 23.848(2), 23.722(4), b = 10.7775(7), 10.6888(6), c = 14.764(1), 14.712(2) Å, β = 117.366(6), 117.094(7)°, Z = 8 (for the iron and cobalt complexes respectively). The structure of the iron complex was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses. The cobalt complex is isomorphous with the iron analog. Both structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and 0.035 for 4251 and 3376 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Both complexes adopt a boat conformation for the central M—(N—N)2—M ring and display significantly non-linear M—N—O groups. The coordination geometry about the metal atoms is distorted tetrahedral. Important molecular dimensions (distances corrected for libration) are: mean Fe—N(pyrazolyl), 2.009(5), mean Fe—NO, 1.696(2) Å, Fe—N—O, 158.5(3)–168.2(2)°, mean Co—N(pyrazolyl), 1.992(7), Co—NO, 1.646(3)–1.680(3) Å, and Co—N—O, 161.6(3)–173.5(3)°. The iron complex is paramagnetic with formally "17-electron" iron atoms. Both structures are compared with similar four-coordinate metal dinitrosyl compounds.

The alternating copolymerization of epoxides with cyclic anhydrides (CAs) is a highly diverse synthetic method for polyesters as the polymers’ architectures and properties can be easily controlled depending on the combination of two monomers. Thus, a variety of catalyst designs has been reported to prepare the desired copolymers efficiently. We herein report dinuclear cobalt–salen complexes with a benzene ring as a linker and their activities in copolymerization reactions. The dinuclear cobalt complexes showed a higher catalytic activity for the copolymerization of propylene oxide with phthalic anhydride than the corresponding mononuclear cobalt–salen complex and achieved one of the highest turnover frequencies ever reported. A variety of epoxides and CAs were also found to be copolymerized successfully by the dinuclear cobalt complex with a high catalytic activity.

The cobalt(II) complex [Co(C5H5NCH2CO2)2(NCS)(H2O)3]2 [Co(NCS)4] has been synthesized, and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complex comprises distorted octahedral [CO(C5H5NCH2CO2)2(NCS)(H2O)3]+ cations, in which the cobalt atom is surrounded by two trans monodentate pyridine betaine ligands, one N-bonded thiocyanate ligand and three aqua ligands, as well as distorted tetrahedral [CO(NCS)4]2- anions. Two-thirds of the aqua ligands form intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds with the coordinated and uncoordinated carboxylate oxygens , linking the cations into a one-dimensional polymeric block directed along a 21 axis.

Although difference Fourier techniques are standard in X-ray crystallography it has only been very recently that electron crystallographers have been able to take advantage of this method. We have combined a high resolution data set for frozen glucose embedded Purple Membrane (PM) with a data set collected from PM prepared in the frozen hydrated state in order to visualize any differences in structure due to the different methods of preparation. The increased contrast between protein-ice versus protein-glucose may prove to be an advantage of the frozen hydrated technique for visualizing those parts of bacteriorhodopsin that are embedded in glucose. In addition, surface groups of the protein may be disordered in glucose and ordered in the frozen state. The sensitivity of the difference Fourier technique to small changes in structure provides an ideal method for testing this hypothesis.

Three-dimensional reconstruction techniques using electron microscopy have been principally developed for application to 2-D arrays (i.e. monolayers) of biological molecules and symmetrical single particles (e.g. helical viruses). However many biological molecules that crystallise form multilayered microcrystals which are unsuitable for study by either the standard methods of 3-D reconstruction or, because of their size, by X-ray crystallography. The grid sectioning technique enables a number of different projections of such microcrystals to be obtained in well defined directions (e.g. parallel to crystal axes) and poses the problem of how best these projections can be used to reconstruct the packing and shape of the molecules forming the microcrystal.Given sufficient projections there may be enough information to do a crystallographic reconstruction in Fourier space. We however have considered the situation where only a limited number of projections are available, as for example in the case of catalase platelets where three orthogonal and two diagonal projections have been obtained (Fig. 1).

Proteolytic digestion of the immunoglobulin IgG with papain cleaves the molecule into an antigen binding fragment, Fab, and a compliment binding fragment, Fc. Structures of intact immunoglobulin, Fab and Fc from various sources have been solved by X-ray crystallography. Rabbit Fc can be crystallized as thin platelets suitable for high resolution electron microscopy. The structure of rabbit Fc can be expected to be similar to the known structure of human Fc, making it an ideal specimen for comparing the X-ray and electron crystallographic techniques and for the application of the molecular replacement technique to electron crystallography. Thin protein crystals embedded in ice diffract to high resolution. A low resolution image of a frozen, hydrated crystal can be expected to have a better contrast than a glucose embedded crystal due to the larger density difference between protein and ice compared to protein and glucose. For these reasons we are using an ice embedding technique to prepare the rabbit Fc crystals for molecular structure analysis by electron microscopy.
