A novel one-dimensional metal-organic coordination polymer, [Zn (NH3)2(BDC)]n (BDC=1,4-benzenedicaboxylate), has been synthesized by solvent evaporation method through self-assembly of Zn (II) salts with terephthalic acid ligand in ammonia aqueous solution. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that each Zn (II) was coordinated by two nitrogen donors from two NH3 and two oxygen counter donors from terephthalic acid ligand. The adjacent zigzag chains are arranged in a parallel fashion and linked by interchain hydrogen bonding interaction and π-π stacking interactions into higher-dimensional framework. The compound has also been characterized by CHN elemental analyses, Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Thermalgravimetric-differential scanning calorimetric (TG-DSC) and Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), etc. Results showed that the framework of compound was stable at the temperature up to 246°C. The desolvated product [Zn (BDC)]n, which was obtained by removal of molecular NH3 from [Zn (NH3)2(BDC)]n, can be transferred to the different skeleton structures through coordinating different small hydrogen-bond-forming molecules.

The condensation of 3-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and the diamines 1,2-diphenylendiamine, 1,2-diamine-2-methylpropane and 1,3-propanediamine yielded the dianionic tetradentate Schiff base ligands N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,2-diphenylendiimine (H2L1), N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane (H2L2) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane (H2L3) respectively. The organic compounds H2L1 and H2L2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry electrospray (ES). The crystal structure of H2L2 in solid state, solved by X-ray crystallography, is highly conditioned in the solid state by two N-H•••N intramolecular interactions. The synthesis of three new manganese(III) complexes 1–3, incorporating these ligands, H2L1–H2L3, and dicyanamide (DCA), is reported. The complexes 1–3 have been physicochemically characterized by elemental analysis, IR and paramagnetic 1H NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, magnetic moment at room temperature and conductivity measurements. Complex 1 has been crystallographically characterized. The X-ray structure shows the self-assembly of the Mn(III)-Schiff base-DCA complex through µ-aquo bridges between neighbouring axial water molecules and also by π-π stacking interactions, establishing a dimeric structure. The manganese complexes were also tested as peroxidase mimics for the H2O2-mediated reaction with the water-soluble trap ABTS, showing complexes 1-2 relevant peroxidase activity in contrast with 3. The rhombicity around the metal ion can explain this catalytic behaviour.

Elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of biomolecules is of great importance because the three-dimensional structure is closely related to biological functions. X-ray single-crystal analysis is powerful method to analyze the structure, but it is sometimes difficult to grow a crystal sufficiently large for conventional or even synchrotron single-crystal X-ray measurement. We recently reported on a magnetically oriented microcrystal array (MOMA) [1] that is a composite in which microcrystals are aligned three-dimensionally in polymer matrix. Microcrystals are suspended in an ultraviolet-curable monomer and rotated non-uniformly in a static magnetic field to achieve three dimensional crystal alignment. Then, the monomer is photopolymerized to maintain the achieved alignment. We have successfully demonstrated that X-ray single crystal structure determinations through MOMA are possible for low molecular weight compounds [2] as well as protein. [3] However, the method with MOMA has two drawbacks: (i) the sample microcrystals cannot be recovered from a MOMA, which is especially serious problem in case of proteins, and (ii) the alignment is deteriorated during the consolidation process, causing low resolution. In this study, we attempt to solve these problems. First, we use a water-soluble sol as microcrystalline media and consolidate the alignment by gelation, which makes the recovery of microcrystals possible. Second, a magnetically oriented microcrystal suspension (MOMS) is used for in-situ X-ray diffraction measurement, which makes the sample recovery possible and enhances the resolution. We use lysozyme as a model protein for both cases. The in-situ method with in-house X-ray diffractometer gave diffraction spots about 3.0 Å resolutions. We plan to perform the same experiment at SPring-8.

A specific organization of optically active nanoscale objects can greatly affect the optical response of a system. Here, we report the controlled modification of the fluorescent emission by the assembly of water-soluble quantum rods (QRs). Our study combines optical, electron microcopy, and X-ray scattering characterizations to reveal a correlation between the self-assembly behavior of QRs into ordered 3D-arrays and the optical properties (luminescence) of formed assemblies, where the observed optical response is highly dependent on the QR aspect ratio. Specifically, shorter, 18 nm long QRs (QR18), exhibiting a well-defined smectic packing, demonstrate an enhancement of the emission intensity accompanied by a red shift and a lifetime reduction. In contrast, 40 nm long QRs (QR40), forming a columnar phase, does not show these optical properties.

In the supramolecular chemistry world, Polyoxometalates (POMs) are considered as a new family of inorganic molecular containers, construct itself by self-assembly reaction from very small units, to form a cluster with unique structural and properties. three structures reported in this paper - differ in their unit cell parameters and also differ from the well-known - as the result of reaction of the Na11H[H(2- x)Bi2W20O70(HWO3)x]·46H2O (x=1.4) with Ca ion at different pH conditions. These structures are [Ca(H2O)7]2[Na(H2O)2]2[HBi2W20O70(HWO3)].14H2O(1), H2[NH4]10[HBi2W20O70(HWO3)] (2), and [NH4]6[Na(H2O)4]2[Ca(H2O)4]2[W12O42].2H2O (3). The last one is bismuth-free and it is formed through reassembly of the precursor. Full structural characterization was made by multiple testing techniques such as single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction results for the three compounds are as follows:(1), Triclinic, space group P-1, while (2) and (3) crystallize in monoclinic space groups C2/m and P21/n respectively.

Minimalistic peptides composed of d- and l-amino acids are attractive building blocks for functional supramolecular materials, including catalysts. d-Amino acids have long been known to promote turn conformations in peptides, yet unexpected twists continue to emerge on their effects on self-assembly. The combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and full-atom molecular dynamics have finally unraveled fine details of how l-d-l-tripeptides visit different conformations in solution and establish key interactions in supramolecular structures.
