A series of complexes of the general formulae R3PAu(6-mp), R3P = Et3P, Ph3P, Cy3P, PhMe2P, (o-tol)3P, (m-tol)3P or (p-tol)3P, (AuCl)Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2(Au(6-mp)), n = 2 or 3, and Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2(Au(6-mp))2, n = 1, 2 or 3 and 6-mp is the anion derived from 6-mercaptopurine (purine-6-thiol), have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods (i.r., 1H, 13C, 31P n.m.r. and f.a.b. m.s.) and, in the case of the Ph3PAu(6-mp) complex, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The spectroscopic data show that the 6-mp ligand coordinates as a thiolate ligand and that the gold atoms exist in linear P-Au-S (or P-Au-Cl) geometries. This has been confirmed by an X-ray study on Ph3PAu(6-mp), isolated as an ethanol solvate; the study shows the gold atom to be linearly coordinated by the phosphorus and sulfur atoms: Au-P(1) 2.237(2), Au-S(6) 2.287(1) Ǻ and P-Au-S 173.71(6)°. Crystals of Ph3PAu(6-mp).EtOH are triclinic, space group Pī, with unit cell dimensions a 11.066(3), b 13.552(3), c 8.705(2) Ǻ, α 91.51(2), β 113.06(2), γ 89.69(2)°, V 1200.8(5) Ǻ3, Z 2. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to R 0.034 for 3978 reflections with I ≥ 3.0σ(I). Preliminary results of testing for antiarthritic activity among the new complexes in rats are also reported showing that some of them are more potent/less toxic than current gold(I) thiolates used clinically.

The title compounds, R3PAuSC(= NPh )OR′, R = Et, Ph or Cy and R′ = Me, Et, Pr, Pri or Cy, have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods ( i.r., 1H and 13C n.m.r. and f.a.b . m.s .) and, in the case of the R = Ph and R′ = Me compound, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The spectroscopic data are consistent with the R3PAu moiety being coordinated by the sulfur atom of the thiolate ligand. This has been confirmed by an X-ray study on Ph3PAuSC(= NPh )OMe which shows the gold atom to be linearly coordinated by the phosphorus and sulfur atoms; Au-P(1) 2.258(1), Au-S(1) 2.301(1) Ǻ and P-Au-S 177.7(1)°. Crystals of Ph3PAuSC(= NPh ) OMe are triclinic, space group pī, with unit cell dimensions: a 10.825(1), b 12.553(2), c 8.914(2) Ǻ, α 97.86(2), β 93.79(1), γ 88.60(1)°, V 1197.1 Ǻ3, Z 2. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to R 0.028 for 4409 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I).

The crystal structure of OsPt2(μ-CO)3(CO)2(PPh3)3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals are triclinic, space group Pī with unit cell dimensions a 13.593(4), b 15.839(4), c 12.633(8) Ǻ, α 102.97(3), β 108.18(2), γ 84.86(3)° with Z2. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure on 5896 reflections [I ≥ 2.5σ(I)] to final R 0.028 and Rw 0.034. A triphenylphosphine ligand binds each of the metal atoms disposed at the corners of a triangle. Each metal-metal bond is spanned by a bridging carbonyl group. The coordination about the osmium atom is completed by two terminal carbonyl groups.

Reaction of the cyclohexyne–platinum(0) complex [Pt(η2-C6H8)(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)]* with water and CO2 in the presence of triphenylphosphine gives the bicarbonate salt of the (η1-cyclohexenyl)platinum(II) cation, [Pt(η1-C6H9)(Cy2PCH2CH2 PCy2)(PPh3)] [HCO3] · 3H2O, which has been characterized by n.m.r. spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction at low temperature. Crystals are triclinic, space group P1– with unit cell dimensions a 20.315(2), b 12.782(1), c 10.694(1) Å, α 66.61(1), β 104.73(1), γ 102.11(1)˚, and Z 2. The structure was refined to a final R value of 0.036 with use of 7553 reflections [I > 3σ(I)]. The cation has the expected, somewhat distorted planar coordination geometry; the anion consists of discrete, hydrogen-bonded dimers [(HCO3)(H2O)3]22-.

The enzyme catalase (H2O2–H2O2 oxidoreductase; E.C. 11.1.6) was purified from haemolysate of human placenta and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion technique. Synchrotron-radiation diffraction data have been collected to 1.76 Å resolution. The enzyme crystallized in the space group P212121, with unit-cell dimensions a = 83.6, b = 139.4, c = 227.5 Å. A molecular-replacement solution of the structure has been obtained using beef liver catalase (PDB code 4blc) as a search model.

AbstractSingle crystals of the hydrous cadmium borate Cd6B22O39·H2O were obtained through a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4.7 GPa and 1000 °C using a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. CdO and partially hydrolyzed B2O3 were used as starting materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has revealed that the structure of Cd6B22O39·H2O is similar to that of the type M6B22O39·H2O (M=Fe, Co). Layers of corner-sharing BO4 groups are interconnected by BO3 groups to form channels containing the metal cations, which are six- and eight-fold coordinated by oxygen atoms. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pnma (no. 62) [R1=0.0379, wR2=0.0552 (all data)] with the unit cell dimensions a=1837.79(5), b=777.92(2), c=819.08(3) pm, and V=1171.00(6) Å3. The IR and Raman spectra reflect the structural characteristics of Cd6B22O39·H2O.

AbstractA series of five synthetic tetrahedrite-group minerals has been prepared and examined using powder X-ray diffraction in order to update current powder data and provide a validation test of cell dimension prediction equations. The tetrahedrites (nominally (Cu10X2)Sb4S13 with X = Zn, Cd, Mn, Hg and Fe) have the following properties: zincian tetrahedrite, a = 10.3833 (1) Å, Dx = 4.974 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 264 (0.004, 31), M20 = 279; cadmian tetrahedrite, a = 10.5066 (1) Å, Dx = 5.073 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 208 (0.004, 37), M20 = 249; manganoan tetrahedrite, a = 10.4384 (1) Å, Dx = 4.822 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 274 (0.003, 33), M20 = 302; mercurian tetrahedrite, a = 10.5071 (1) Å, Dx = 5.570 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 150 (0.006, 35), M20 = 156; ferroan tetrahedrite, a = 10.3630 (1) Å, Dx = 5.002 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 253 (0.004, 33), M20 = 281. The experimental unit cell dimensions obtained in this study are in excellent agreement with calculated values produced using regression equations developed previously.

AbstractSingle crystals and powder samples of Ca2Bi5O5and Ca4Bi6O13have been synthesized and studied using single crystal X-ray diffraction as well as X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. Unit cell dimensions were calculated using a least squares analysis that refined to a δ2θof no more than 0.03°. A triclinic cell was found with space group , a = 10.1222(7), b = 10.1466(6), c = 10.4833(7) Å. α= 116.912(5), β= 107.135(6) and γ= 92.939(6)°, Z = 6 for the Ca2Bi2O5compound. An orthorhombic cell was found with space group C2mm, a = 17.3795(5), b = 5.9419(2) and c = 7.2306(2) Å, Z = 2 for the Ca4Bi6O13compound.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

A new Cu(II) complex was prepared at room temperature from the reaction of p-formylbenzoic acid, phenanthroline, CuCl2⋅2H2O, and NaOH under ethanolic aqueous conditions. The complex has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TG-DTA analyses, and magnetic measurements. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with the cell dimensions a=7.875(2), b=10.724(2), c=15.317(3) Å , α =102.65(3), β =93.71(3), γ =107:64(3)°. The Cu atoms are in the environment of distorted CuN2O3 tetragonal pyramids. These discrete complex molecules are packed through intermolecular π...π-stacking interactions and C-H...O hydrogen bonds forming a supramolecular structure. The title complex obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a Curie constant C=0:53 cm3 K mol-1 and a Weiss constant θ = -0:27 K. The shape of the xmT curve is characteristic of weak ferromagnetic interactions between the Cu(II) centers from 300 to 7 K, while there are weak antiferromagnetic interactions below 7 K.

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.
