We report herein the synthesis, crystallographic analysis and a study of the non-covalent interactions observed in the new 4′-substituted terpyridine-based derivative bis[4′-(isoquinolin-2-ium-4-yl)-4,2′:6′,4′′-terpyridine-1,1′′-diium] tris-[tetrachloridozincate(II)], (C24H19N4)2[ZnCl4]3 or (44TPH3)2[ZnCl4]3, where (44TPH3)3+ is the triply protonated cation 4′-(isoquinolinium-4-yl)-4,2′:6′,4′′ terpyridinium. The compound is similar in its formulation to the recently reported 2,2′:6′,2′′ terpyridinium analogue {bis[4′-(isoquinolin-2-ium-4-yl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-1,1′′-diium] tris[tetrachloridozincate(II)] monohydrate; Granifo et al. (2017). Acta Cryst. C73, 1121–1130}, although rather different and much simpler in its structural features, mainly in the number and type of non-covalent interactions present, as well as in the supramolecular structure they define.

(2016). Acta Cryst. C72, 932–938]. The (ITPH3)3+ cation presents a number of interesting similarities and differences compared with its neutral ITP relative, mainly in the role fulfilled in the packing arrangement by the profuse set of D—H...A [D (donor) = C, N or O; A (acceptor) = O or Cl], π–π and anion...π noncovalent interactions present. We discuss these interactions in two different complementary ways, viz. using a point-to-point approach in the light of Bader's theory of Atoms In Molecules (AIM), analyzing the individual significance of each interaction, and in a more `global' analysis, making use of the Hirshfeld surfaces and the associated enrichment ratio (ER) approach, evaluating the surprisingly large co-operative effect of the superabundant weaker contacts.

Numerous non-covalent interactions link together discrete molecules in the crystal structure of the title compound, 2C20H26N2O2 2+·4Cl−·H2O {systematic name: 4-[(5-ethenyl-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-yl)(hydroxy)methyl]-6-methoxyquinolin-1-ium dichloride hemihydrate}. A combination of hydrogen bonding between acidic H atoms and the anions in the asymmetric unit forms a portion of the observed hydrogen-bonded network. π–π interactions between the aromatic portions of the cation appear to play a role in the formation of the long-range ordering. One ethylene double bond was found to be disordered. The disorder extends to the neighboring carbon and hydrogen atoms.

The crystallographic analysis of a lipase from Palaeococcus ferrophilus (PFL) previously annotated as a lysophospholipase revealed high structural conservation with other monoglyceride lipases, in particular in the lid domain and substrate binding pockets. In agreement with this observation, PFL was shown to be active on various monoacylglycerols. Molecular Dynamics (MD) studies performed in the absence and in the presence of ligands further allowed characterization of the dynamics of this system and led to a systematic closure of the lid compared to the crystal structure. However, the presence of ligands in the acyl-binding pocket stabilizes intermediate conformations compared to the crystal and totally closed structures. Several lid-stabilizing or closure elements were highlighted, i.e., hydrogen bonds between Ser117 and Ile204 or Asn142 and its facing amino acid lid residues, as well as Phe123. Thus, based on this complementary crystallographic and MD approach, we suggest that the crystal structure reported herein represents an open conformation, at least partially, of the PFL, which is likely stabilized by the ligand, and it brings to light several key structural features prone to participate in the closure of the lid.
