Diosgenone [(20S,22R,25R)-spirost-4-en-3-one, C27H40O3] has been proposed as a new therapeutic alternative for the treatment of malaria. The first X-ray structure report for diosgenone was by Piroet al.[(2002).Z. Naturforsch. Teil C,57, 947–950] in the space groupP21(Z′ = 2). We now report a new polymorph in the same space group, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules have similar conformations, characterized by a skewed envelopeAring, which contains the C=C bond conjugated with the ketone functionality at C3. The dimorphism results from a modification of the relative orientation of the molecules in the asymmetric unit: two independent molecules were arranged antiparallel in the Piro report, while they are parallel in the present determination.

[(THF)2LiCl2VCl2(THF)2] (1) and [Li(THF)4][OMoCl4(THF)] (2) can be prepared by the reactions of VCI3 with LiCl in THF and of Li(H)PtBu with OM0 CI4 in THF, respectively. 1 and 2 were characterized by IR spectroscopy, MS spectrometry (2) and X-ray crystallography. 1 can be obtained in two modifications depending on the temperature of crystallization. At -30 °C a triclinic form, 1a, was isolated from THF solution with one unique molecule per asymmetric unit. However, at 20 °C, 1b crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2/c. It possesses four independent molecules per asymmetric unit. According to the structure analyses 1 consists of a dinuclear complex with a planar LiCl2V four-membered ring while 2 consists of seperate ions [Li(THF)4]+ and [OMoCl4(THF)]-

1,1′-Diformylruthenocene, [Ru(C6H5O)2], crystallizes in the orthorhombic system in the P212121 space group at room temperature. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The cyclopentadienyl rings have eclipsed configuration. The molecules self-assemble in a two-dimensional structure by C—H...O and C—H...π interactions with cisoid relative orientations of the two formyl groups. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.

Phytases are phosphatases that hydrolyze phytates to less phosphorylatedmyo-inositol derivatives and inorganic phosphate. β-Propeller phytases, which are very diverse phytases with improved thermostability that are active at neutral and alkaline pH and have absolute substrate specificity, are ideal substitutes for other commercial phytases. PhyH-DI, a β-propeller phytase fromBacillussp. HJB17, was found to act synergistically with other single-domain phytases and can increase their efficiency in the hydrolysis of phytate. Crystals of native and selenomethionine-substituted PhyH-DI were obtained using the vapour-diffusion method in a condition consisting of 0.2 Msodium chloride, 0.1 MTris pH 8.5, 25%(w/v) PEG 3350 at 289 K. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.00 and 2.70 Å resolution, respectively, at 100 K. Native PhyH-DI crystals belonged to space groupC121, with unit-cell parametersa = 156.84,b = 45.54,c = 97.64 Å, α = 90.00, β = 125.86, γ = 90.00°. The asymmetric unit contained two molecules of PhyH-DI, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.17 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 43.26%. Crystals of selenomethionine-substituted PhyH-DI belonged to space groupC2221, with unit-cell parametersa = 94.71,b= 97.03,c= 69.16 Å, α = β = γ = 90.00°. The asymmetric unit contained one molecule of the protein, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.44 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 49.64%. Initial phases for PhyH-DI were obtained from SeMet SAD data sets. These data will be useful for further studies of the structure–function relationship of PhyH-DI.

In the molecules of the title compounds, (2E)-1-(3-bromo-thiophen-2-yl)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C14H11BrO2S, (I), which crystallizes in the space groupP-1 with four independent molecules in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 8), and (2E)-1-(3-bromothiophen-2-yl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C15H13BrO3S, (II), which crystallizes withZ′ = 8 in the space groupI2/a, the non-H atoms are nearly coplanar. The molecules of (I) pack with inversion symmetry stacked diagonally along thea-axis direction. Weak C—H...Br intramolecular interactions in each of the four molecules in the asymmetric unit are observed. In (II), weak C—H...O, bifurcated three-center intermolecular interactions forming dimers along with weak C—H...π and π–π stacking interactions are observed, linking the molecules into sheets along [001]. A weak C—H...Br intramolecular interaction is also present. There are no classical hydrogen bonds present in either structure.

The β_1^{\prime}-2 crystal structures of a series of mixed-chain saturated and trans-mono-unsaturated triacylglycerols containing palmitoyl, stearoyl and elaidoyl acyl chains have been solved from high-resolution powder diffraction data, from synchrotron as well as laboratory X-ray sources. The structures crystallized in the space group I2 with two independent molecules forming a dimer in the asymmetric unit, and packed in double-chain length layers. Unlike the corresponding β-2 structures the solved β_1^{\prime}-2 structures have different molecular conformations for the symmetric and the asymmetric mixed triacylglycerols, both with the sn-2 chain in a leg position of the chair-shaped conformation. A transformation to the β-2 structure with the sn-2 chain in the back position is complicated and unlikely to take place in the solid state. A novel β′-2 polymorph of PSS has been crystallized and its structure has been solved. The melting point (239 K) of this so-called β_0^{\prime}-2 polymorph is 2 K above that of the β_1^{\prime}-2 polymorph and almost equal to that of the β-2 polymorph of PSS. The difference in packing of the β_0^{\prime}-2 versus β_1^{\prime}-2 structure explains the slow β_1^{\prime}-2 to β_0^{\prime}-2 phase transition. The transition is strikingly similar to the β2-3 to β1-3 transition in cis-mono-unsaturated triacylglycerols.

N,N′-Dibutyl-terephthaldiamide (1), N,N′-dihexyl-terephthaldiamide (2), N,N′-di(tert-butyl)- terephthaldiamide (3), N,N,N′,N′-tetrabutyl-terephthaldiamide (4), 1,1′-terephthaloylbis- pyrrolidine (5), 1,1′-terephthaloyl-bis-piperidine (6), and 4,4′-terephthaloyl-bis-morpholine (7) have been synthesised and physicochemically characterised. The X-ray structure determinations reveal imposed inversion symmetry for compounds 1-6; compound 3 has two independent molecules with inversion symmetry in the asymmetric unit. Compounds 1-3 form classical hydrogen bonds of the type N-H···O=C, leading to a ribbon-like arrangement of molecules (1 and 2) or a layer structure (3). Compound 3 also displays a very short C-H···O interaction, a type of hydrogen bond that is also observed in compounds 4-7, which lack classical donors; thereby compounds 4-6 form layer structures and 7 a complex threedimensional network.

The crystal and molecular structures of 3(5),4-dimethylpyrazole, C5H8N2, (I), and of 3,4,5-trimethylpyrazole, C6H10N2, (II), have been determined at 200 K. In (I) the 4,5-dimethylpyrazole tautomer is present in the solid state and the six independent molecules in the asymmetric unit form trimers via NH...N hydrogen bonds related by a pseudo centre of symmetry. The asymmetric unit of (II) contains one and a half molecules: these exhibit NH proton disorder and are hydrogen bonded to each other via their respective NH groups to form chains. Ab initio calculations at HF and B3LYP/6-31G** levels indicate that the 3,4-dimethylpyrazole tautomer is more stable than the 4,5-dimethylpyrazole tautomer by only approximately 0.5  kcal  mol−1 (1 kcal mol−1 = 4.184 kJ mol−1).

2α-Methyl-4,5α-dihydrotestosterone 17β-propionate, known as drostanolone propionate or masteron, is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone. The crystal structures of two polymorphs of drostanolone propionate have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and both crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system. One is belonging to the P21 space group, Z = 2, and has one molecule in the asymmetric unit while the second belongs to the I2 space group, Z = 4, and contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Another polymorph has been investigated by an X-ray powder diffraction method and solved by Parallel tempering/Monte Carlo technique and refined with the Rietveld method. This polymorph crystallizes in the orthorhombic P212121 space group, Z = 4 having one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The structural configuration analysis shows that the A, B, and C steroid rings exist as chair geometry, while ring D adopts a C13 distorted envelope configuration in all structures. For all polymorphs, the lattice energy has been computed by CLP (Coulomb-London-Pauli), and tight-binding density functional theory methods. Local electron correlation methods were used to estimate the role of electron correlation in the magnitude of the dimer energies. The nature of the intermolecular interactions has been analyzed by the SAPT0 energy decomposition methods as well as by Hirshfeld surfaces.
