Abstract The title compound was prepared from the pure elements by sintering. The crystal structure was investigated by means of powder X-ray diffraction data. Ho5Pd19P12 exhibits the hexagonal Ho5Ni19P12-type structure with space group P 6 ‾ 2 m $P‾{6}2m$ , a = 13.1342(2), c = 3.9839(1) Å, R I = 0.060, R p = 0.080. The crystal structure can be described as a combination of two types of the structural units, [HoPd6P3] and [Ho3Pd10P6], respectively, mutually displaced by 1/2 along the crystallographic c axis. Quantum chemical calculations have been performed to analyze the electronic structure and provide deeper insight into the structure-property relationships. The results of the quantum chemical calculations indicate that the material features metallic bonding between Ho and Pd and covalent bonding between Pd and P.

Carborane-based compounds are promising lead structures for development of inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases (CAs). Here, we report structural and computational analysis applicable to structure-based design of carborane compounds with selectivity toward the cancer-specific CAIX isoenzyme. We determined the crystal structure of CAII in complex with 1-methylenesulfamide-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane at 1.0 Å resolution and used this structure to model the 1-methylenesulfamide-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane interactions with CAIX. A virtual glycine scan revealed the contributions of individual residues to the energy of binding of 1-methylenesulfamide-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane to CAII and CAIX, respectively.

ABSTRACTCorrelated quantum-chemical calculations performed on supermolecular structures, i.e., on clusters made of several oligomer chains in interaction, provide insight into structure-property relationships in well-organized molecular films. This supermolecular approach is applied to crystalline phases of two prototypical conjugated oligomers and shows that variations in chain packing can lead to dramatically different optical (Davydov) splittings and carrier mobilities. Optimal chain organizations for various types of devices are discussed.

Statistical analysis of data from crystal structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has shown that S and Se atoms display a similar tendency towards specific types of interaction if they are part of a fragment that corresponds to the side chains of cysteine (Cys), methionine (Met) selenocysteine (Sec) and selenomethionine (Mse). The most numerous are structures with C—H...Se and C—H...S interactions (∼80%), notably less numerous are structures with Se...Se and S...S interactions (∼5%), and Se...π and S...π interactions are the least numerous. The results of quantum-chemical calculations have indicated that C—H...Se (∼−0.8 kcal mol−1) and C—H...S interactions are weaker than the most stable parallel interaction (∼−3.3 kcal mol−1) and electrostatic interactions of σ/π type (∼−2.6 kcal mol−1). Their significant presence can be explained by the abundance of CH groups compared with the numbers of Se and S atoms in the crystal structures, and also by the influence of substituents bonded to the Se or S atom that further reduce their possibilities for interacting with species from the environment. This can also offer an explanation as to why O—H...Se (∼−4.4 kcal mol−1) and N—H...Se interactions (∼−2.2 kcal mol−1) are less numerous. Docking studies revealed that S and Se rarely participate in interactions with the amino acid residues of target enzymes, mostly because those residues preferentially interact with the substituents bonded to Se and S. The differences between Se and S ligands in the number and positions of their binding sites are more pronounced if the substituents are polar and if there are more Se/S atoms in the ligand.

The introduction and removal of the 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl (DMB) moiety was studied in order to use it as a protecting group in the synthesis of diverse drug candidates containing the 1,3-diazaoxindole scaffold. The debenzylation of C(5)-unsubstituted and C(5)-isopropylidene-substituted 1,3-diazaoxindoles was investigated under various conditions. The DMB group could only be removed from the latter derivative using triflic acid. This observation can most likely be explained with electronic effects. In order to get a deeper insight into the reaction mechanism, quantum chemical calculations have been performed.
