Isomeric Structures

The results of quantum chemical calculations on lithium ketazides suggest mainly four isomeric structures with different modes of lithium coordination (A-D). A monolithium ketazide thf-adduct (1) was isolated supporting the results of the quantum chemical calculations. In reactions of the lithiated di(tert-butyl-methyl)ketazine with BCl3 and Cl2BPh, 1,2-aza-azonia-3-borata-cyclopent-5-enes (2, 3) were isolated. Substitution of a chlorine atom of 2 and 3 with t-BuLi leads to the formation of derivatives 4 and 5. HCl elimination from 2 with Et3N gives - via a diazaboracyclopentene (6) - a bicyclus 7. In the reaction of the dilithiated ketazine with F2BN(SiMe3)2, the diaza-boracyclopentene 8 is obtained while with Cl4Si, F3SiN(SiMe3)2, and Cl2SiMe2 the diazasilacyclopentenes 9 - 11 are generated. SiF4 reacts with the dilithium ketazide to give a spirocyclus (12). The monolithium ketazide and Cl2SiMe2 react at 30 °C to give a four-membered ring isomer of the substitution product which is formed via a 1,3-chlorine shift from silicon to carbon (13). A tetrameric silanolate was isolated as a by-product in this reaction. It gives evidence for the structure of lithium ketazide A. Crystal structures of 5, 7, 10, and 14 are reported.

Structural Competition

How many strong C−I⋯N halogen bonds can one 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecule form in a crystal structure? To answer this question, we investigated in detail the noncovalent interactions between 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene and a series of 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives by employing a combined theoretical and experimental method. The results of the quantum chemical calculations and crystallographic experiments clearly show that there is a structural competition between a C−I⋯N halogen bond and π⋯π stacking interaction. For example, when there are much stronger π⋯π stacking interactions between two 1,10-phenanthroline derivative molecules or between two 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecules in the crystal structures, then one 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecule forms only one C−I⋯N halogen bond with one 1,10-phenanthroline derivative molecule. Another example is when π⋯π stacking interactions in the crystal structures are not much stronger, one 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecule can form two C−I⋯N halogen bonds with two 1,10-phenanthroline derivative molecules.

During a comprehensive study of a series of 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamides with the aryl group substituted in the ortho-position by either a halogen atom, a methyl group or a methoxy group, the existence of three groups of isotypic crystal structures has been revealed. The similarity of crystal structures belonging to the same groups was confirmed by the analysis based on the comparison of pairwise interactions energies obtained from quantum chemical calculations. Group I includes unsubstituted, methyl-substituted and polymorphic modification 1 of fluoro-substituted 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamide. Structures of polymorphic modification 2 of fluoro-substituted derivative, chloro-substituted and polymorphic modification 1 of bromo-substituted 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamide may represent group II. Group III contains structures of polymorphic modification 2 of bromo-substituted derivative, iodine- and methoxy-substituted 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamides. Structures of the same type group have extremely close parameters of the unit cell as well as those of molecular and crystal structures. But they are not identical. Polymorphic modifications of fluoro- and bromo-substituted 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamides belong to different crystal types mainly due to different arrangement of basic structural motifs separated out using quantum chemical calculations.

Influence Of Substituents

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.

Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SERCA1a) pumps two Ca2+ per ATP hydrolyzed from the cytoplasm and two or three protons in the opposite direction. In the E2 state, after transferring Ca2+ into the lumen of sarcoplasmic reticulum, all of the acidic residues that coordinate Ca2+ are thought to be protonated, including the gating residue Glu309. Therefore a Glu309Gln substitution is not expected to significantly perturb the structure. Here we report crystal structures of the Glu309Gln and Glu309Ala mutants of SERCA1a under E2 conditions. The Glu309Gln mutant exhibits, unexpectedly, large structural rearrangements in both the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains, apparently uncoupling them. However, the structure definitely represents E2 and, together with the help of quantum chemical calculations, allows us to postulate a mechanism for the E2 → E1 transition triggered by deprotonation of Glu309.
