Abstract The crystal structure of a copper(II) complex of protonated sildenafil, CuCl3C22H31N6O4S⋅2H2O was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the unit cell parameters a = 15.4292(2), b = 9.06735(12), c = 21.1752(2) Å, V = 2945.48(7) Å3, Z = 4. The Cu atom is coordinated by the sildenafil ligand via the N2 atom of the pyrazolopyrimidine ring and by three chloride anions. Sildenafil is protonated at the methylated N6 atom of the piperazine ring and it is cation ligand with a 1+ charge.

Reactions between Co(II), Diphos, and NaBH3CN lead to Co(BH3CN)2(Diphos)2, 1, or [Co(BH3CN)(Diphos)2]X, 2 (X = ClO4 or BPh4), and, in certain solvents, 2 reacts to produce [Co(CN)(Diphos)2](ClO4). Compound 1 can be reversibly converted to Co(BH3CN)2(DMF)4, 4, via Co(BH3CN)2(Diphos)(DMF). In addition, 1 reacts with CO to form the Co(I) and Co(III) compounds [Co(Diphos)2](CO)]X and [Co(Diphos)2(CN)2]X (X = BH3CN or BPh4). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 4 show that the compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text], with unit cell parameters a = 7.572(6), b = 9.695(6), c = 9.395(6) Å, α = 81.06(4), β = 68.46(5), γ = 68.19(5)°, V = 595.5 Å3, Z = 1, and dcalcd = 1.202 g cm−3. The structure converged to a conventional R factor of 0.040 for 2841 observations and showed an octahedral arrangement of four O atoms from DMF molecules and two trans N-bound BH3CN groups around the Co(II) center.

Two different crystalline structures corresponding to a zinc adipate and a zinc succinate were determined combining: X-ray powder and single-crystal diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and true densities experiments. The zinc succinate crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space-group Cccm with unit-cell parameters a = 4.792(1) Å, b = 21.204(6) Å, c = 6.691(2) Å, V = 679.8(3) Å3, and Z = 8. Zinc adipate crystal structure was refined from the laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data by the Rietveld method. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with unit-cell parameters, a = 16.2037(17)Å, b = 4.7810(2)Å, c = 9.2692(6)Å, β = 90.329(3)°, V = 718.07(9) Å3, and Z = 4. The thermal expansion of it was estimated in 5.40 × 10−5 K−1. This contribution is a step on the way to systematize the regularities in the coordination diversity between linear dicarboxylates and transition metal–inorganic buildings units of metal–organic frameworks.

The technogenic mineral phases NH4MgCl3·6H2O and (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O from the burned dumps of the Chelyabinsk coal basin have been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction. The NH4MgCl3·6H2O phase is monoclinic, space group C2/c, unit cell parameters a = 9.3091(9), b = 9.5353(7), c = 13.2941(12) Å, β = 90.089(8)° and V = 1180.05(18) Å3. The crystal structure of NH4MgCl3·6H2O was refined to R1 = 0.078 (wR2 = 0.185) on the basis of 1678 unique reflections. The (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O phase is orthorhombic, space group Pnma, unit cell parameters a = 13.725(2), b = 9.9365(16), c = 7.0370(11) Å and V = 959.7(3) Å3. The crystal structure of (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O was refined to R1 = 0.023 (wR2 = 0.066) on the basis of 2256 unique reflections. NH4MgCl3·6H2O is stable up to 90 °C and then transforms to the less hydrated phase isotypic to β-Rb(MnCl3)(H2O)2 (i.e., NH4MgCl3·2H2O), the latter phase being stable up to 150 °C. (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O is stable up to 120 °C and then transforms to an X-ray amorphous phase. Hydrogen bonds provide an important linkage between the main structural units and play the key role in determining structural stability and physical properties of the studied phases. The mineral phases NH4MgCl3·6H2O and (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O are isostructural with natural minerals novograblenovite and kremersite, respectively.

Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase is the enzyme which catalyzes the last step of creatine biosynthesis. The enzyme is found ubiquitously and in abundance in the livers of all vertebrates. Recombinant rat-liver guanidinoacetate methyltransferase has been crystallized with guanidinoacetate and S-adenosylhomocysteine. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 54.8, b = 162.5, c = 56.1 Å, β = 96.8 (1)° at 93 K, and typically diffract beyond 2.8 Å.

The crystal structure of the ordered vacancy compound (OVC) Cu3In5Te9 was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the Cu-poor Cu-In-Se compound b-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available site positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P2c (Nº 112), with unit cell parameters a = 6.1852(2) Å, c = 12.3633(9) Å, V = 472.98(4) Å3, led to Rp = 7.1 %, Rwp = 8.5 %, Rexp = 6.4 %, S = 1.3 for 162 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu1 in 2e (0,0,0); In1 in 2f (½,½,0), In2 in 2d (0,½,¼); Cu2-In3 in 2b (½,0,¼); in 2a (0,0,¼); Te in 8n (x,y,z).

Abstract. Gersdorffite, ideally NiAsS, and associated minerals from Contrada Zillì (Peloritani Mountains, Sicily, Italy) have been characterized through electron microprobe analysis and X-ray diffraction. Primary minerals, hosted in quartz veins, are represented by gersdorffite, tetrahedrite-(Fe), and chalcopyrite with minor pyrite and galena. Rare aikinite inclusions were observed in tetrahedrite-(Fe) and chalcopyrite. Gersdorffite occurs as euhedral to subhedral crystals, up to 1 mm in size, with (Sb,Bi)-enriched cores and (Fe,As)-enriched rims. Its chemical composition is (Ni0.79−0.95Fe0.18−0.04Co0.04−0.01)(As0.90−1.03Sb0.10−0.00Bi0.02−0.00)S0.98−0.92. It crystallizes in the space group P213, with unit-cell parameters a=5.6968(7) Å, V=184.88(7) Å3, and Z=4, and its crystal structure was refined down to R1= 0.035. Associated tetrahedrite-(Fe) has chemical formula (Cu5.79Ag0.07)Σ5.86(Cu3.96Fe1.59Zn0.45)Σ6.00(Sb3.95As0.17Bi0.03)Σ4.15S13.06, with unit-cell parameters a= 10.3815(10) Å, V=1118.9(3) Å3, and space group I-43m. Its crystal structure was refined to R1=0.027. Textural and crystallographic data suggest a polyphasic crystallization of gersdorffite under low-temperature conditions.

The bromodomain-PHD finger protein 1 (BRPF1) is an essential subunit of the monocytic leukemia zinc (MOZ) histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex and is required for complex formation and enzymatic activation. BRPF1 contains a structurally conserved bromodomain, which recognizes specific acetyllysine residues on histone proteins. The MOZ HAT plays a direct role in hematopoiesis, and deregulation of its activity is linked to the development of acute myeloid leukemia. However, the molecular mechanism of histone-ligand recognition by the BRPF1 bromodomain is currently unknown. The 117-amino-acid BRPF1 bromodomain was overexpressed inEscherichia coliand purified to homogeneity. Crystallization experiments of the BRPF1 bromodomain in complex with its H4K12ac and H2AK5ac histone ligands yielded crystals that were suitable for high-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis. The BRPF1 bromodomain–H4K12ac crystals belonged to the tetragonal space groupP43212, with unit-cell parametersa= 75.1,b= 75.1,c= 86.3 Å, and diffracted to a resolution of 1.94 Å. The BRPF1 bromodomain–H2AK5ac crystals grew in the monoclinic space groupP21, with unit-cell parametersa= 60.9,b= 55.6,c= 82.1 Å, β = 93.6°, and diffracted to a resolution of 1.80 Å. Complete data sets were collected from both crystal forms using synchrotron radiation on beamline X29 at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).

Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters, one of the multidrug exporter families, efflux xenobiotics towards the extracellular side of the membrane. Since MATE transporters expressed in bacterial pathogens contribute to multidrug resistance, they are important therapeutic targets. Here, a MATE-transporter homologue fromVibrio cholerae, VcmN, was overexpressed inEscherichia coli, purified and crystallized in lipidic cubic phase (LCP). X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.5 Å resolution from a single crystal obtained in a sandwich plate. The crystal belonged to space groupP212121, with unit-cell parametersa= 52.3,b= 93.7,c= 100.2 Å. As a result of further LCP crystallization trials, crystals of larger size were obtained using sitting-drop plates. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.2 Å resolution from a single crystal obtained in a sitting-drop plate. The crystal belonged to space groupP212121, with unit-cell parametersa= 61.9,b= 91.8,c= 100.9 Å. The present work provides valuable insights into the atomic resolution structure determination of membrane transporters.
