The long-range shielding effects of the C=O and C—H bonds were reexamined by the method described in part IV of this series, with the objective of resolving the discrepancies between some of the conclusions presented and earlier findings by Zürcher. The C—H bond magnetic anisotropy was treated as a variable and found to be small enough to be negligible. Upon omission of this term, both electrostatic and magnetic anisotropy effects had to be invoked to account for the shielding effects of the carbonyl group.The necessary geometric quantities were calculated from atomic coordinates for androsterone, as determined by X-ray crystallography, and freely rotating methyl groups were approximated by superpositions of 24 conformations of the group. The results were in essential agreement with those obtained with the use of geometric factors computed as described in part IV.

Nitrogen-centered urazole radicals exist in equilibrium with tetrazane dimers in solution. The equilibrium established typically favors the free-radical form. However, 1-arylurazole radicals bearing substituents at the ortho position favor the dimeric form. We were able to determine the structure of one of the dimers (substituted at both ortho positions with methyl groups), namely 1,2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-[2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-4-methyl-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazolidin-1-yl]-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione, C24H28N6O4, via X-ray crystallography. The experimentally determined structure agreed well with the computationally obtained geometry at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. The preferred syn conformation of these 1-arylurazole dimers results in the two aromatic rings being proximate and nearly parallel, which leads to some interesting shielding effects of certain signals in the 1H NMR spectrum. Armed with this information, we were able to decipher the more complicated 1H NMR spectrum obtained from a dimer that was monosubstituted at the ortho position with a methyl group.

A 31P and 77Se solid-state NMR investigation of the iminobis(diorganophosphine chalcogenide) HN(R2PE)2 (R = Ph,iPr; E = O, S, Se) systems is presented. The NMR results are discussed in terms of the known HN(R2PE)2 structures available from X-ray crystallography. The phosphorus chemical shift tensors are found to be sensitive to the nature of the alkyl and chalcogen substituents. The nature of the R group also influences the selenium chemical shift tensors of HN(R2PSe)2 (R = Ph, iPr), which are shown to be sensitive to hydrogen bonding in the dimer structure of HN(Ph2PSe)2 and to the presence of disorder in the case of HN(iPr2PSe)2. Scalar relativistic ZORA DFT nuclear magnetic shielding tensor calculations were performed yielding the orientations of the corresponding chemical shift tensors. A theoretical investigation into the effect of the E-P···P-E “torsion” angle on the phosphorus and selenium chemical shift tensors of a truncated HN(Me2PSe)2 system indicates that the electronic effect of the alkyl group on the respective nuclear magnetic shielding tensors are more important than the steric effect of the E-P···P-E torsion angle.Key words: iminobis(diorganophosphine chalcogenide), solid-state NMR, 31P NMR, 77Se NMR, ZORA DFT.

Using the methods described in parts I–VI of this series, we have examined the long-range shielding effects of the cyano group upon the C-18 and -19 methyl protons in several cyano-steroids and the ring protons in 2-endo- and 2-exo-cyanonorbornenes.It was found that the most important shielding mechanism of the cyano group is its electric field effect, with the magnetic anisotropy effect making at most a minor contribution to the screening. However, only in the cases of the cyano-steroids was good agreement obtained between the calculated and the experimental shifts.

The effects of long-range and virtual long-range coupling on the observed spectra of acetylated hexopyranoses and pentopyranoses are examined. Use is made of both spin decoupling and specific deuteration for the assignment of signals. It is seen that specific solvent effects on chemical shift can be superior to increasing the applied magnetic field for the resolution of the signals of closely related protons. The alteration of virtual long-range coupling effects in these ways can be useful in the diagnosis of spectra. Empirical rules are derived for estimating the long-range shielding effects which occur on changing configurations. It is seen that the inversion of a center can lead to deshielding of axial protons and to shielding of equatorial protons at other centers relative to the chemical shifts observed in reference compounds wherein all the acetoxy groups are in equatorial orientation. The effects in several cases result in equatorial protons giving their signal to higher field than chemically similar but axial protons. The conformational properties of pentopyranose tetraacetates as estimated from chemical shifts and coupling constants are seen to be in good agreement with expectations based on non-bonding interaction free energies. As expected, 2-deoxy-β-D-ribopyranose triacetate has the 1C-conformation when dissolved in chloroform.

The calculation of chemical shift values by the method used in parts I–V (1–5) has been extended to a derivation of the shielding effects of the ethylene–ketal and −thioketal groups. For these studies ketal and thioketal derivatives of monoketoandrostanes were prepared. The chemical shifts of the C-18 and -19 methyl protons in these compounds are reported for the solvents CDCl3, CCl4 and benzene.Representing both groups by point dipoles, values for the anisotropies and for K, a parameter descriptive of the electric field effect, were derived for various, coincidental, locations of the magnetic and electric dipoles along the symmetry axes of the two groups.

The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is an IP3-gated ion channel that releases calcium ions (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. The IP3-binding sites in the large cytosolic domain are distant from the Ca2+ conducting pore, and the allosteric mechanism of how IP3 opens the Ca2+ channel remains elusive. Here, we identify a long-range gating mechanism uncovered by channel mutagenesis and X-ray crystallography of the large cytosolic domain of mouse type 1 IP3R in the absence and presence of IP3. Analyses of two distinct space group crystals uncovered an IP3-dependent global translocation of the curvature α-helical domain interfacing with the cytosolic and channel domains. Mutagenesis of the IP3R channel revealed an essential role of a leaflet structure in the α-helical domain. These results suggest that the curvature α-helical domain relays IP3-controlled global conformational dynamics to the channel through the leaflet, conferring long-range allosteric coupling from IP3 binding to the Ca2+ channel.

Six methyl-substituted 2-pyrimidonium chloride salts have been prepared and the rates of hydrogen exchange of their reactive methyl groups (at the 4- and 6-positions) have been determined in DCl/D2O solution. Adjacent methyl groups, whether on nitrogen or carbon, activate the exchanging centres, whereas more distant methyl groups have a deactivating effect. The molecular geometry of the salts has been determined by X-ray crystallography with the view to determining whether the presence of strain in the pyrimidonium ring can account for the activating effect of adjacent methyl. The most reactive compound, the 1,5,6-trimethylpyrimidonium chloride, has a geometry that is consistent with high reactivity, viz. a non-planar ring and short H … H intermethyl distance. However, the 1,4,5,6-tetramethyl compound, which also is non-planar and has an extremely short 5-6 intermethyl distance (1.99 Å), is not highly reactive; that is, the heightened strain is unable to overcome the deactivating inductive effect of the additional methyl group. We conclude that deviations from ring planarity and short intermethyl distances are insufficient to account for the activation produced by adjacent methyl though they appear to be contributing factors to this effect.

New Mn12 single-molecule nanomagnets [ Mn 12 O 12( O 2 CCHCl 2)( H 2 O )4]· 2CH 2 Cl 2· H 2 O and [ Mn 12 O 12( O 2 CCHCl 2)( H 2 O )4]· 2CH 3 C 6 H 5· 4H 2 O and novel Mn18 complexes [ M 18 O 14( O 2 CR )18( hmp )4( hmpH )2( H 2 O )2] (R=Me, Et) have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography and dc- and ac-magnetic susceptibility measurements. Mn12 complexes show characteristic SMM properties, such as temperature-dependent out-of-phase ac-susceptibility. Mn18 does not show relaxation behaviors down to 2.0 K, but reveals magnetic anisotropy in reduced magnetization experiment.

We review contributions made towards the elucidation of CO and O 2 binding geometries in respiratory proteins. Nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and quantum chemistry have all been used to investigate the Fe –ligand interactions. Early experimental results showed linear correlations between 17 O chemical shifts and the infrared stretching frequency (νCO) of the CO ligand in carbonmonoxyheme proteins and between the 17 O chemical shift and the 13CO shift. These correlations led to early theoretical investigations of the vibrational frequency of carbon monoxide and of the 13 C and 17 O NMR chemical shifts in the presence of uniform and non-uniform electric fields. Early success in modeling these spectroscopic observables then led to the use of computational methods, in conjunction with experiment, to evaluate ligand-binding geometries in heme proteins. Density functional theory results are described which predict 57 Fe chemical shifts and Mössbauer electric field gradient tensors, 17 O NMR isotropic chemical shifts, chemical shift tensors and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (e2qQ/h) as well as 13 C isotropic chemical shifts and chemical shift tensors in organometallic clusters, heme model metalloporphyrins and in metalloproteins. A principal result is that CO in most heme proteins has an essentially linear and untilted geometry (τ = 4 °, β = 7 °) which is in extremely good agreement with a recently published X-ray synchrotron structure. CO / O 2 discrimination is thus attributable to polar interactions with the distal histidine residue, rather than major Fe–C–O geometric distortions.
