The reaction of the carbodiphosphorane C(PPh3)2 (1) with [Co2(CO)8] results in the formation of the salt-like complex (HC{PPh3}2)[Co(CO)4] (2) in high yield if THF is used as the solvent. The proton of the cation stems from THF degradation. When the reaction is carried out in toluene, the tetranuclear cluster [Co4(CO)10(PPh3)(μ4-CCPPh3)] (3) is formed in low yield as the only complex which could be identified by X-ray analysis. The solvate 3 ·C7H8 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 1040.8(2), b = 1387.4(2), c = 1923.0(2) pm, α = 71.96(1)°, β = 88.69(1)°, γ = 71.46(1)°, Z = 2. The structure of the cluster with 64 CVE is that of a “spiked triangle” in which the triphenylphosphonioacetylide CCPPh3 acts as a six-electron donor and the bonding mode is that of a μ4-η2 coordination.

Thioredoxin is a small ubiquitous protein that plays a role in many biological processes. A putative thioredoxin, Trx1, fromThermosipho africanusstrain TCF52B, which has low sequence identity to its closest homologues, was successfully cloned, overexpressed and purified. The protein was crystallized using the microbatch-under-oil technique at 289 K in a variety of conditions; crystals grown in 0.2 MMgCl2, 0.1 Mbis-tris pH 6.5, 25%(w/v) PEG 3350, which grew as irregular trapezoids to maximum dimensions of 1.2 × 1.5 × 0.80 mm, were used for sulfur single-wavelength anomalous dispersion analysis. The anomalous sulfur signal could be detected to 2.83 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation on the 08B1-1 beamline at the Canadian Light Source. The crystals belonged to space groupP212121, with unit-cell parametersa= 40.6,b= 41.5,c= 56.4 Å, α = β = γ = 90.0°.

Since the early works on GP zones and the model independently proposed by Preston and Guinier on the first steps of precipitation in supersaturated solid solution of aluminium containing a few percent of copper, many works have been performed to understand the structure of different stages in the sequence of precipitation.The scheme which is generally admitted can be drawn from a work by Phillips.In their original model Guinier and Preston analysed a GP zone as composed of a single (100) copperrich plane surrounded by aluminum atomic planes with a slightly shorter distance from the original plane than in the solid solution.From X-ray measurements it has also been shown that GP1 zones were not only copper monolayer zones. They could be up to a few atomic planes thick. Different models were proposed by Guinier, Gerold, Toman. Using synchrotron radiation, proposals have been recently made.
