Molecular Adducts

Molecular adducts of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (1) with aza-donors like 4,4'-bipyridine (a), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (b), trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (c), 4,4'-trimethylene-dipyridine (d), phenazine (e), 1,10-phenanthroline (f), 1,7-phenanthroline (g) and 4,7-phenanthroline (h) have been prepared. All the molecular complexes are crystallized along with the solvent of crystallization, except in the complex with the aza-donor b. Detailed structural analysis of the obtained complexes has been carried out by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The three dimensional structures of the molecular adducts are facilitated by directional hydrogen bonding features of hydroxyl groups with aza donors as well as solvent molecules, leading to the formation of different types of supramolecular architectures like sheets, tapes, host-guest assembly etc. For example, in the complex of 1 and aza donor a, which crystallizes as a hydrate, the porphyrin molecules interact with water and 4,4'-bipyridine through O-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds, which leads to the formation of molecular sheets in two dimensional arrangement. An important noteworthy observation is that the molecular complexes are crystalline even after removal of the solvents by heating, as characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Further, all the complexes are found to be fluorescence sensitive, perhaps due to the porphyrin molecules.

Owing to its multiple sites acting as H-bonds' donors, melamine and its derivatives are considered as excellent building blocks for the construction of various crystalline supramolecular architectures based on phosphate, sulfate, chloride and carboxylic anions [1-10] on one hand and chlorometallate anions on the other hand [11-13]. In our contribution, we will discuss the synthesis, FTIR spectra and the structural investigation using the single crystal X-ray diffraction of (H2Melamine) [CuCl5]Cl, (I). The structural analysis of (I) revealed that it consists of alternating negative and positive layers running through the a-axis direction. The negative layers are built up of alternatively CuCl53- and discrete non-coordination Cl- anions, whereas the positive sheets are formed of [H2melamine2+]2 Hydrogen-bonded dimers. The N-H...N and N-H...Cl interactions are assembled to build three-dimensional H-bond patterns which insure the cohesion within the lattice (Fig. 01). A previous work showed that (I) exhibits antiferromagnetic properties [14]

A combination of tetrasulfonylcalix[4]arene (3-4H) together with a calix[4]arene dicarboxylate derivative 2-4H led, in the presence of MII(NO3)2 (M = Co, Ni, Zn), to the formation of three novel isostructural metallomacrocycles of formula [M3(DMF)2(μ3-H2O)-(2-2H)-3]. The structure of the prepared coordination compounds was studied in the solid state using single crystal/powder X-ray diffraction studies. The X-ray diffraction on single crystal revealed that the structure of the obtained supramolecular complexes is composed of a trinuclear metallic cluster [M3]+6 held between one di-deprotonated molecule of (2-2H)2− offering two carboxylate groups for binding metal cations and one tetra-deprotonated compound 34−, where four oxygen atoms, belonging to four deprotonated phenolic moieties and three oxygen atoms coming from three SO2 groups, are coordinated with the cluster core. Thus, an example of an easily reproducible molecular recognition pattern involving two different types of calix[4]arene based ligands, displaying different coordination moieties, and trinuclear metallic clusters, is reported here. In addition, it has been shown that the cone moieties of the calixarene also encapsulate solvent molecules.

Crystallographic faulting in zeolite structures affects both the catalytic and sorption properties, and can greatly complicate attempts at structural characterization. A near extreme example of stacking disorder is provided by zeolite beta, a large pore, high-silica zeolite that was first reported in 1967. We describe here the determination of the framework structure of zeolite beta, using primarily high-resolution electron microscopy, electron diffraction, computer-assisted modelling and powder X-ray diffraction. Zeolite beta can be regarded as a highly intergrown hybrid of two distinct, but closely related structures that both have fully three-dimensional pore systems with 12-rings as the minimum constricting apertures. One end member, polymorph A, forms an enantiomorphic pair, space group symmetries P4 1 22 and P4 3 22, with a = 1.25 nm, c = 2.66 nm. Polymorph B is achiral, space group C2/c with a = 1.76 nm, b = 1.78 nm, c = 1.44 nm, β = 114.5°. Both structures are constructed from the same centrosymmetric tertiary building unit (TBU), arranged in layers that, successively, interconnect in either a left- (L) or a right- (R) handed fashion. Polymorph A represents an uninterrupted sequence of RRRR... (or LLLL...) stacking. Polymorph B has an alternating RLRL... stacking sequence. The TBU has no intrinsic preference for either mode of connection, enabling both to occur with almost equal probability in zeolite beta, giving rise to a near random extent of interplanar stacking faults and, to a lesser extent, intraplanar defects terminated by hydroxyl groups. The faulting does not significantly affect the accessible pore volume, but influences the tortuosity of the pore connectivity along the c direction. The high stacking fault densities give rise to complex powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) patterns for zeolite beta materials that comprise both sharp and broad features. By exploiting recursive relations between possible stacking sequences, PXD patterns have been calculated as a function of faulting probability. Reasonable agreement with observed PXD profiles is observed for a ca . 60% faulting probability in the chiral stacking sequence, suggesting a slight preference for polymorph B. The framework building units observed in zeolite beta can also be used to construct other frameworks.

As an extension of our continued interest in the preparation of inorganic–organic hybrids, we report the successful hydrothermal synthesis of sodium tris[triaqua(μ-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylato)dysprosium(III)] silicododecatungstate dodecahydrate, {[DyNa(C14H6N2O4)3(H2O)9(SiW12O40)]·12H2O}nor Na[Dy(PDA)(H2O)3]3[SiW12O40]·12H2O (1), and sodium aqua tris[tetraaqua(μ-4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)praseodymium(III)] silicododecatungstate dodecahydrate, {[NaPr(C7H3NO5)3(H2O)13(SiW12O40)]·12H2O}nor Na(H2O)[Pr(pydc-OH)(H2O)4]3[SiW12O40]·12H2O (2) (in which H2PDA is 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid and H2pydc-OH is 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid or chelidamic acid). Both compounds have been characterized using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. Structural characterization by single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that these compounds consist of [SiW12O40]4−Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs), where a single {W3O13} triad is decorated with a trinuclear Ln complex. Moreover, the decorated polyanions are involved in a series of intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and anion–π interactions, resulting in three-dimensional supramolecular architectures. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were conducted to support these intermolecular interactions in both1and2, and have been rationalized using molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface calculations.

The title compound, [(1-{4-[2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}ethylidene)amino]thiourea, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane monosolvate, C15H15N5O2S·C2H2Cl4, was prepared from 4-(4-acetylphenyldiazendiyl)resorcinol and thiosemicarbazide and recrystallized from mixed solvents of tetrachloroethane andn-hexane.1H NMR and X-ray diffraction data are in support of the thione tautomeric form. The X-ray analysis shows the molecule crystallizes as a zwitterion, with proton transfer from the nominal phenol to the azide group; the N—N bond length is 1.291 (5) Å, and an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is formed. In the crystal, N—H...O, N—H...N and O—H...S hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into a three-dimensional network. The tetrachloroethane solvent molecules are linked to this network through weak C—H...O linkages.

The understanding of ribosome structure has advanced considerably in the last several years. Biochemists have characterized the constituent proteins and rRNA's of ribosomes. Complete sequences have been determined for some ribosomal proteins and specific antibodies have been prepared against all E. coli small subunit proteins. In addition, a number of naturally occuring systems of three dimensional ribosome crystals which are suitable for structural studies have been observed in eukaryotes. Although the crystals are, in general, too small for X-ray diffraction, their size is ideal for electron microscopy.

Two isostructural diarsenates, SrZnAs2O7(strontium zinc diarsenate), (I), and BaCuAs2O7[barium copper(II) diarsenate], (II), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three-dimensional open-framework crystal structure consists of corner-sharingM2O5(M2 = Zn or Cu) square pyramids and diarsenate (As2O7) groups. Each As2O7group shares its five corners with five differentM2O5square pyramids. The resulting framework delimits two types of tunnels aligned parallel to the [010] and [100] directions where the large divalent nine-coordinatedM1 (M1 = Sr or Ba) cations are located. The geometrical characteristics of theM1O9,M2O5and As2O7groups of known isostructural diarsenates, adopting the general formulaM1IIM2IIAs2O7(M1II= Sr, Ba, Pb;M2II= Mg, Co, Cu, Zn) and crystallizing in the space groupP21/n, are presented and discussed.

Atrazine (ATZ) is an herbicide which is applied to the soil, and its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of photosynthesis. One of its main functions is to control the appearance of weeds in crops, primarily in corn, sorghum, sugar cane, and wheat; however, it is very toxic for numerous species, including humans. Therefore, this work deals with the adsorption of ATZ from aqueous solutions using nanocomposite materials, synthesized with two different types of organo-modified clays. Those were obtained by the free radical polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) and acrylamide (AAm) in different stoichiometric ratios, using tetrabutylphosphonium persulfate (TBPPS) as a radical initiator and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) as cross-linking agent. The structural, morphological, and textural characteristics of clays, copolymers, and nanocomposites were determined through different analytical and instrumental techniques, i.e., X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Adsorption kinetics experiments of ATZ were determined with the modified and synthesized materials, and the effect of the ratio between 4VP and AAm moieties on the removal capacities of the obtained nanocomposites was evaluated. Finally, from these sets of experiments, it was demonstrated that the synthesized nanocomposites with higher molar fractions of 4VP obtained the highest removal percentages of ATZ.

Herein, the microwave-assisted wet precipitation method was used to obtain materials consisting of mesoporous silica (SBA-15) and calcium orthophosphates (CaP). Composites were prepared through immersion of mesoporous silica in different calcification coating solutions and then exposed to microwave radiation. The composites were characterized in terms of molecular structure, crystallinity, morphology, chemical composition, and mineralization potential by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The application of microwave irradiation resulted in the formation of different types of calcium orthophosphates such as calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA), octacalcium phosphate (OCP), and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) on the SBA-15 surface, depending on the type of coating solution. The composites for which the progressive formation of hydroxyapatite during incubation in simulated body fluid was observed were further used in the production of final pharmaceutical forms: membranes, granules, and pellets. All of the obtained pharmaceutical forms preserved mineralization properties.

A specific fibril model is presented consisting of bundles of five-stranded microfibrils, which are usually disordered (except axially) but under lateral compression become ordered. The features are as follows (where D = 234 residues or 67 nm): (1) D-staggered collagen molecules 4.5 D long in the helical microfibril have a left-handed supercoil with a pitch of 400–700 residues, but microfibrils need not have helical symmetry. (2) Straight-tilted 0.5-D overlap regions on a near-hexagonal lattice contribute the discrete x-ray diffraction reflections arising from lateral order, while the gap regions remain disordered. (3) The overlap regions are equivalent, but are crystallographically distinguished by systematic displacements from the near-hexagonal lattice. (4) The unit cell is the same as in a recently proposed three-dimensional crystal model, and calculated intensities in the equatorial region of the x-ray diffraction pattern agree with observed values.
