There are few reports that describe crystal structures of compounds containing cobalt complexed to either dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) or quinoline (C9H7N). The title compound, [Co(C2H6OS)6][CoCl3(C9H7N)]2, is a cobalt salt in which the metal ion is complexed to both Me2SO and quinoline. In particular, we observed that anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride reacts with quinoline in Me2SO to form a salt that is to be formulated as [CoII(Me2SO)6]2+{[CoIICl3quinoline]2−}. The CoIIatom in the cation portion of this molecule lies on a inversion center and is bound to the O atoms of six Me2SO moieties in an octahedral configuration, while the CoIIatom in the anion is attached to three chloride ligands and one quinoline moiety in a tetrahedral arrangement.

AbstractBacteriophages have long been known to use modified bases in their DNA to prevent cleavage by the host’s restriction endonucleases. Among them, cyanophage S-2L is unique because its genome has all its adenines (A) systematically replaced by 2-aminoadenines (Z). Here, we identify a member of the PrimPol family as the sole possible polymerase of S-2L and we find it can incorporate both A and Z in front of a T. Its crystal structure at 1.5 Å resolution confirms that there is no structural element in the active site that could lead to the rejection of A in front of T. To resolve this contradiction, we show that a nearby gene is a triphosphohydolase specific of dATP (DatZ), that leaves intact all other dNTPs, including dZTP. This explains the absence of A in S-2L genome. Crystal structures of DatZ with various ligands, including one at sub-angstrom resolution, allow to describe its mechanism as a typical two-metal-ion mechanism and to set the stage for its engineering.

In the title compound, [FeIr(C5H5)(C20H14N3)Cl3]·2CH3CN, the central IrIIIatom is sixfold coordinated by three chloride ligands and three terpyridine N atoms in a slightly distorted octahedral fashion. The terpyridine ligand is functionalized at the 4′-position with a ferrocenyl group, the latter being in an eclipsed conformation. In the crystal, molecules are stacked in rows parallel to [001], with the acetonitrile solvent molecules situated between the rows. An extensive network of intra- and intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions is present, stabilizing the three-dimensional structure.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(C6H4NO2)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, has been reinvestigated with improved precision [previous reports: Chang et al. (1972). J. Coord. Chem. 2, 31–34; Lumme et al. (1969). Suom. Kemistil. B, 42, 270]. In the title compound, the Co atom is located on an inversion center and its coordination can be described as slightly distorted octahedral, equatorially trans-coordinated by two N and O atoms of two picolinate ligands and axially coordinated by two O atoms of the water molecules. Intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions result in the formation of an intricate three-dimensional network.

The title compound, [Co(C2H4NO2)3], is a mononuclear cobalt(III) complex. The CoIII atom is six-coordinated by three N atoms and three O atoms from three chelating glycinate ligands, forming a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked together by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C26H21NO3·0.25H2O, reveals one stereogenic centre in the molecule. Nevertheless, due to the observed centrosymmetric space group, both enantiomers are present in the crystal packing. The water molecule of crystallisation is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The molecule contains one five-membered ring (A) and three six-membered rings (benzyl ringB, benzylidene ringCand formylbenzyl ringD). All four rings are not coplanar: the dihedral angles between ringsAandB,AandC, andAandDare 70.35 (9), 33.8 (1) and 60.30 (9)°, respectively. In the crystal, pairs of weak C—H...O interactions lead to the formation of centrosymmetric dimers. Additional C—H...O interactions link the dimers into chains along [011].

The title compound, [Co2Na2{μ2-N(SiMe3)2}4](μ4-O), (I), represents a new entry in the class of inverse crown ethers. In the molecule, each Co atom is formally in the oxidation state +II. The structure contains one half of a unique molecule per asymmetric unit with the central μ4-oxido ligand residing on an inversion center, leading to a planar coordination to the Na and Co atoms. In the crystal, bulky trimethylsilyl substituents prevent additional interactions with cobalt. However, weak intermolecular Na...H3C—Si interactions form an infinite chain along [010]. The structure is isotypic with its Mg, Mn and Zn analogues.

The title compound, [IrCl(C12H8NO)2{(CH3)2SO}]·H3CCN or [IrCl(fppy)2(DMSO)]·H3CCN [where fppy is 4-(pyridin-2-yl)benzaldehyde and DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide], is a mononuclear iridium(III) complex including two fppy ligands, a sulfur-coordinating DMSO ligand, and one terminal chloride ligand that define a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. The complex crystallizes from 1:1 DMSO–acetonitrile as an acetonitrile solvate. In the crystal, weak C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent complexes and between the acetonitrile solvent and the complex consolidate the packing.

The title compound, C16H8N2·C6H4S4, crystallizes with the fluorene derivative placed in a general position and two half tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) molecules, each completed to a whole molecule through an inversion center. The fluorene ring system is virtually planar (r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane = 0.027 Å) and the dicyano group is twisted from the fluorene plane by only 3.85 (12)°. The TTF molecules are also planar, and their central C=C bond lengths [1.351 (8) and 1.324 (7) Å] compare well with the same bond length in neutral TTF (ca1.35 Å). These features indicate that no charge transfer occurs between molecules in the crystal; the compound should thus be considered a cocrystal rather than an organic complex. This is confirmed by the crystal structure, in which no significant stacking interactions are observed between molecules.

In the title compound, [CdBr2(C11H10N2)(C2H6OS)], the CdIIatom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry by two N atoms from a 6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide ligand and two Br atoms. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H...Br hydrogen bonds and π–π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.582 (5) and 3.582 (5) Å].
