<div>Core level photoelectron spectroscopy is a widely used technique to study amino acids. Interpretation of the individual contributions from functional groups and their local chemical environments to overall spectra requires both high-resolution reference spectra and theoretical insights, for example from density functional theory calculations. This is a particular challenge for crystalline amino acids due to the lack of experimental data and the limitation of previous calculations to gas phase molecules. </div><div>Here, a state of the art multiresolution approach is used for high precision gas phase calculations and to validate core hole pseudopotentials for plane-wave calculations. This powerful combination of complementary numerical techniques provides a framework for accurate ΔSCF calculations for molecules and solids in systematic basis sets. It is used to successfully predict C and O 1<i>s</i> core level spectra of glycine, alanine and serine and identify chemical state contributions to experimental spectra of crystalline amino acids.</div>

The first bioinorganic vanadocene(IV) complexes of α-amino acids ([Cp2V(aa)]Cl, Cp = η5-C5H5, aa = glycine, L-alanine, L-valine) were prepared by reaction of vanadocene dichloride ([Cp2VCl2]) and α-amino acids in aqueous methanol. Analogous cationic complexes with PF6- counterions were obtained by metathetical reactions of the chloride precursors with KPF6. These compounds are of great interest as model systems for the vanadocene moiety binding to proteins. All complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses and IR, Raman and EPR spectroscopies. On the basis of EPR spectra, a chelate in all the studied complexes was proposed, formed by the carboxylato and amino groups. This structure has also been confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
