Abstract The title compounds were prepared from chloro(organophosphine)metal(I) complexes and the urea homologues SeC(NH2)2 and SC(NHMe)2 in good yields. Recrystallization of [Ph3,PAg{SeC(NH2)2}]+Cl- from DMF/CH2Cl2 leads in low yield to the dinuclear complex [{µ2-SeC(NH2)2}Ag{SeC(NH2)2}2]22+2Cl- • 4DMF. The crystal structure reveals short Ag-Ag contacts and unexpectedly acute angles at the bridging selenium atom. The crystal structure of [Ph3PAu{SC(NHMe)2}]+Cl- • SC(NHMe)2 shows short N•••Cl and N•••S contacts that probably correspond to hydrogen bonding.

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.

Each central platinum(II) atom in the crystal structures of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminoethoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C4H10AsN2O4)Cl] (1), and of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminopropoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C6H14AsN2O4)Cl] (2), is coordinated by two nitrogen donor atoms, a chlorido ligand and to arsenic, which, in turn, is coordinated by two oxygen donor ligands, two hydroxyl ligands and the platinum(II) atom. The square-planar and trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environments around platinum and arsenic, respectively, are significantly distorted with the largest outliers being 173.90 (13) and 106.98 (14)° for platinum and arsenic in (1), and 173.20 (14)° and 94.20 (9)° for (2), respectively. One intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed in the crystal structure of (1), which give rise to an infinite three-dimensional network. A similar situation (one intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions) is observed in the crystal structure of (2). Various π-interactions are present in (1) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.7225 (7) Å, and between the centroids of five-membered (Pt, As, C, N, O) rings of neighbouring molecules with distances of 3.7456 (4) and 3.7960 (6) Å. Likewise, weak π-interactions are observed in (2) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.8213 (2) Å, as well as between the Cl atom and the centroid of a symmetry-related five-membered ring with a distance of 3.8252 (12) Å. Differences between (2) and the reported polymorph [Miodragović et al. (2013). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 10749–10752] are discussed.


The crystal structures of α-D-glucosamine hydrochloride and hydrobromide have been redetermined and refined from the original experimental data. The pyranose ring of the sugar molecule has the expected normal Sachse trans configuration with the lower energy conformation 1 a 2 e 3 e 4 e 5 e . The most interesting feature of these new results is now the inter-ionic hydrogen-bonding, which is dominated by the co-ordination about the NH 3 + groups and the anions.

The crystal structures of cefdinir and cefdinir sesquihydrate have been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Cefdinir crystallizes in space group P21 (#4) with a = 5.35652(4), b = 19.85676(10), c = 7.57928(5) Å, β = 97.050(1) °, V = 800.061(6) Å3, and Z = 2. Cefdinir sesquihydrate crystallizes in space group C2 (#5) with a = 23.98775(20), b = 5.01646(3), c = 15.92016(12) Å, β = 109.4470(8) °, V = 1806.438(16) Å3, and Z = 4. The cefdinir molecules in the anhydrous crystal structure and sesquihydrate have very different conformations. The two conformations are similar in energy. The hydrogen bonding patterns are very different in the two structures, and the sesquihydrate is more stable than expected from the sum of the energies of cefdinir and cefdinir sesquihydrate, the result of additional hydrogen bonding. The powder patterns are included in the Powder Diffraction File™ as entries 00-066-1604 (cefdinir) and 00-066-1605 (cefdinir sesquihydrate).

Diphenyl(2-hydroxy-phenyl)phosphine was introduced as a ligand for gold(I) halides and pentafluorophenyl gold(I) in order to probe the interplay of intra- and intermolecular interactions based on aurophilic (Au· · ·Au) and hydrogen bonding. 1:1 complexes of the type Ph2(2-HO-C6H4)P-Au-X with X = Cl, Br, C6F5 have been prepared and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic data. The crystal structure of the chloro complex (1) has been determined. In the lattice the molecules form dimers through O-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds. Au· · ·Au contacts are ruled out by steric congestion. Reaction of 1 with triethylamine yields a 1:1 adduct with O-H· · ·NEt3 hydrogen bonding. The trimethylsilyl ether of the title ligand also forms 1:1 complexes with AuCl, AuBr, Aul, and AuC6F5. The crystal structures of the chloro (5) and iodo (7) compound have been determined. In both cases the lattices are built from monomers which show only minor differences in their conformations. The silylether groups are not acting as intra- or intermolecular donor functions to the gold atoms.

The structure of three functionalized chalcones (1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-ones), containing combinations of nitro and dimethylamino functional groups, are presented, namely, 1-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C17H16N2O3, Gp8m, 3-[3-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C17H16N2O3, Hm7m and 1-(3-nitrophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one, C15H11NO3, Hm1-. Each of the molecules contains bonding motifs seen in previously solved crystal structures of functionalized chalcones, adding to the large dataset available for these small organic molecules. The structures of all three of the title compounds contain similar bonding motifs, resulting in two-dimensional planes of molecules formed via C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the nitro- and ketone groups. The structure of Hm1- is very similar to the crystal structure of a previously solved isomer [Jing (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o2510].

The synthesis and crystal structures of (E)-3-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)chroman-4-one, C16H12O3, I, and (E)-3-(3-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-phenylchroman-4-one, C22H16O3, II, are reported. These compounds are of interest with respect to biological activity. Both structures display intermolecular C—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonding, forming layers in the crystal lattice. The crystal structure of compound I is consolidated by π–π interactions. The lipophilicity (logP) was determined as it is one of the parameters qualifying compounds as potential drugs. The logP value for compound I is associated with a larger contribution of C...H interaction in the Hirshfeld surface.

The crystal structures of eight benzoylhydrazones with different substituents have been investigated, namely 1-benzoyl-2-(propan-2-ylidene)hydrazone, C10H12N2O, (I), 1-benzoyl-2-(1-cyclohexylethylidene)hydrazone, C15H20N2O, (II), 1-benzoyl-2-[1-(naphthalen-2-yl)ethylidene]hydrazone, C19H16N2O, (III), 1-benzoyl-2-(1-cyclohexylbenzylidene)hydrazone, C20H22N2O, (IV), 1-benzoyl-2-(1-phenylbenzylidene)hydrazone, C20H16N2O, (V), 1-benzoyl-2-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)benzylidene]hydrazone, C20H15ClN2O, (VI), 1-benzoyl-2-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazone methanol monosolvate, C14H12N2O2·CH3OH, (VII), and 1-benzoyl-2-(1,1-diphenylpropan-2-ylidene)hydrazone, C22H20N2O, (VIII). The ten molecules in the eight crystal structures [there are two independent molecules in the structures of (V) and (VI)] show similar conformations and hydrogen-bonding patterns. The C=N—NH—C=O group is planar, but the plane of the phenyl ring of the benzoyl group is rotated by about 30° with respect to that of the keto group [except for (IV), where the groups are coplanar]. Only in the amide group of (VIII) is the N—H groupsynto the C=O bond, whereas the seven other compounds exhibit theanticonformation. Unless prevented by steric hindrance, N—H...O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the crystal structure, which leads to infinite chains or dimers depending upon the molecular conformation. The molecular packing is supported by intermolecular C—H...O interactions. In the crystal structure of (VII), the methanol solvent molecule participates in two strong hydrogen bonds and two weak C—H...O interactions, thus acting as a link between the molecular chains.

The crystal structures of four bromoarenes based on 2,6-dimethylbromobenzene are reported, which are differentiated according the functional groupXplacedparato the Br atom:X= CN (4-bromo-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile, C9H8BrN), (1),X= NO2(2-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene, C8H8BrNO2), (2),X= NH2(4-bromo-3,5-dimethylaniline, C8H10BrN), (3) andX= OH (4-bromo-3,5-dimethylphenol, C8H9BrO), (4). The content of the asymmetric unit is different in each crystal,Z′ = ½ (X= CN),Z′ = 1 (X= NO2),Z′ = 2 (X= NH2), andZ′ = 4 (X= OH), and is related to the molecular symmetry and the propensity ofXto be involved in hydrogen bonding. In none of the studied compounds does the crystal structure feature other non-covalent interactions, such as π–π, C—H...π or C—Br...Br contacts.
