Water Trapping

We present a mechanism of intriguing polar hydrophobicity of a series of naturally formed minerals: their surface cavities can effectively trap water molecules, and the water trapping remarkably disrupts the hydrogen bond interaction among interfacial water and leads to considerable hydrophobicity.

A novel 2D nickel(ii) complex (1) has been successfully synthesized using a 2,2′-bipyridyl, polycarboxylsulfonate ligand H4SBTC and Ni2+ ions. Owing to the presence of abundant water molecules, hydrogen bond networks and other protons, 1 and its hybrid membranes demonstrate high proton conductivity.

Crystal-to-crystal transformation is a path to obtain crystals with different crystal structures and physical properties. K2[Co(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·4H2O (1) is obtained from K2C2O4·2H2O, CoCl2·6H2O in H2O with a yield of 60%. It is crystallized in the triclinic with space group P1 and cell parameters: a = 7.684(1) Å, b = 9.011(1) Å, c = 10.874(1) Å, α = 72.151(2)°, β = 70.278(2)°, γ = 80.430(2)°, V = 670.0(1) Å3, Z = 2 at 100 K. 1 is composed of K+, mononuclear anion [Co(C2O4)2(H2O)22−] and H2O. Co2+ is coordinated by two bidentated oxalate anion and two H2O in an octahedron environment. There is a hydrogen bond between mononuclear anion [Co(C2O4)2(H2O)22−] and H2O. K2[Co(μ-C2O4)(C2O4)] (2) is obtained from 1 by dehydration. The cell parameters of 2 are a = 8.460(5) Å, b = 6.906 (4) Å, c = 14.657(8) Å, β = 93.11(1)°, V = 855.0(8) Å3 at 100 K, with space group in P2/c. It is composed of K+ and zigzag [Co(μ-C2O4)(C2O42−]n chain. Co2+ is coordinated by two bisbendentate oxalate and one bidentated oxalate anion in trigonal-prism. 1 is an antiferromagnetic molecular crystal. The antiferromagnetic ordering at 8.2 K is observed in 2.

And Function

Protein hydration is essential to its structure, dynamics, and function, but water–protein interactions have not been directly observed in real time at physiological temperature to our awareness. By using a tryptophan scan with femtosecond spectroscopy, we simultaneously measured the hydration water dynamics and protein side-chain motions with temperature dependence. We observed the heterogeneous hydration dynamics around the global protein surface with two types of coupled motions, collective water/side-chain reorientation in a few picoseconds and cooperative water/side-chain restructuring in tens of picoseconds. The ultrafast dynamics in hundreds of femtoseconds is from the outer-layer, bulk-type mobile water molecules in the hydration shell. We also found that the hydration water dynamics are always faster than protein side-chain relaxations but with the same energy barriers, indicating hydration shell fluctuations driving protein side-chain motions on the picosecond time scales and thus elucidating their ultimate relationship.

In the title mononuclear complex, [Co(C9H4N2O4)(H2O)5]·5H2O, the CoIIatom exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry involving an N atom of a 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligand and five water O atoms. A supramolecular network is generated through intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules and the carboxyl O atoms of the organic ligand. An intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is also observed.
