Crystal structure of K6[Zn(CO3)4]

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound comprises a tetracarbonatozincate(II) anion, [Zn(CO3)4]6−, with point-group symmetry 2 where the ZnII atom is surrounded in a distorted tetrahedral manner by four monodentate carbonate groups. The crystal structure of K6[Zn(CO3)4], hexapotassium tetracarbonatozincate(II), comprises four unique potassium cations (two located on a general position, and two on the twofold rotation axis of the space group C2/c) and a [Zn(CO3)4]6− anion. The ZnII atom of the latter is located on the twofold rotation axis and is surrounded in a slightly distorted tetrahedral manner by two pairs of monodentately binding carbonate groups, with Zn—O distances of 1.9554 (18) and 1.9839 (18) Å. Both carbonate groups exhibit a slight deviation from planarity, with the C atom being shifted by 0.008 (2) and 0.006 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane of the three O atoms. The coordination numbers of the potassium cations range from 6 to 8, using a threshold of 3.0 Å for K—O bonding interactions being significant. In the crystal structure, [KOx] polyhedra and [Zn(CO3)4]6− groups share O atoms to build up the framework structure.

Crystal Structure of BaCa(CO3)2 Alstonite Carbonate and Its Phase Stability upon Compression.

Project description:New single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the crystal chemistry of the CaO-BaO-CO2 system is more complex than previously thought. We characterized the BaCa(CO3)2 alstonite structure at ambient conditions, which differs from the recently reported crystal structure of this mineral in the stacking of the carbonate groups. This structural change entails the existence of different cation coordination environments. The structural behavior of alstonite at high pressures was studied using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data and ab initio calculations up to 19 and 50 GPa, respectively. According to the experiments, above 9 GPa, the alstonite structure distorts into a monoclinic C2 phase derived from the initial trigonal structure. This is consistent with the appearance of imaginary frequencies and geometry relaxation in DFT calculations. Moreover, calculations predict a second phase transition at 24 GPa, which would cause the increase in the coordination number of Ba atoms from 10 to 11 and 12. We determined the equation of state of alstonite (V 0 = 1608(2) Å3, B 0 = 60(3) GPa, B'0 = 4.4(8) from experimental data) and analyzed the evolution of the polyhedral units under compression. The crystal chemistry of alstonite was compared to that of other carbonates and the relative stability of all known BaCa(CO3)2 polymorphs was investigated.

Crystal structure of Zn2(HTeO3)(AsO4).

Project description:Single crystals of Zn2(HTeO3)(AsO4), dizinc(II) hydroxidodioxidotellurate(IV) oxidoarsenate(V), were obtained as one of the by-products in a hydro-thermal reaction between Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, TeO2, H3AsO4 and NH3 in molar ratios of 2:1:2:10 at 483 K for seven days. The asymmetric unit of Zn2(HTeO3)(AsO4) contains one Te (site symmetry m), one As (m), one Zn (1), five O (three m, two 1) and one H (m) site. The ZnII atom exhibits a coordination number of 5 and is coordinated by four oxygen atoms and a hydroxide group, forming a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The hydroxide ion is positioned at a significantly larger distance on one of the axial positions of the bipyramid. The [ZnO4OH] polyhedra are connected to each other by corner-sharing to form ∞ 2[ZnO3/2(OH)1/2O1/1] layers extending parallel to (001). The TeIV atom is coordinated by three oxygen atoms and a hydroxide group in a one-sided manner in the shape of a bis-phenoid, revealing stereochemical activity of its 5s 2 electron lone pair. The AsV atom is coordinated by four oxygen atoms to form the tetra-hedral oxidoarsenate(V) anion. By corner-sharing, [TeO3OH] and [AsO4] groups link adjacent ∞ 2[ZnO3/2(OH)1/2O1/1] layers along [001] into a three-dimensional framework structure.

Janus interface enables reversible Zn-ion battery by regulating interfacial water structure and crystal-orientation.

Project description:To tackle the shortcomings of traditional battery systems, there has been much focus on aqueous Zn-ion batteries due to various advantages. However, they still suffer from poor stability of Zn anodes. Here, a methionine additive with unique Janus properties is proposed to regulate the behavior of the interface between Zn anodes and the electrolyte environment. Systematic characterizations as well as calculations elucidate that the Janus additive is adsorbed on the Zn anode via zincophilic -NH2, changing the structure of the electric double layer and breaking the hydrogen bonding network among H2O molecules through hydrophobic S-CH3. At the same time, it can induce preferential formation of Zn(101) with high reversibility. The above two functions contribute to the dendrite inhibiting ability of Zn anodes. As validated, fabricated Zn//Zn symmetric cells achieve stable cycles of 4500 h, 1165 h, and 318 h at 1, 5 and 10 mA cm-2/mA h cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, Zn//Cu asymmetric cells with an average coulombic efficiency of 98.9% for 2200 stable cycles can be realized. Finally, Zn//MnO2 full cells exhibit 79.9% capacity retention with an ultra-high coulombic efficiency of 99.9% for 1000 cycles, much better than that of the pure Zn(ClO4)2 system, indicating the great potential of this useful strategy in aqueous batteries.

Crystal structure of toxin HP0892 from Helicobacter pylori with two Zn(II) at 1.8 A resolution.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance and microorganism virulence have been consistently exhibited by bacteria and archaea, which survive in conditions of environmental stress through toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. The HP0892-HP0893 TA system is one of the two known TA systems belonging to Helicobacter pylori. The antitoxin, HP0893, binds and inhibits the HP0892 toxin and regulates the transcription of the TA operon. Here, we present the crystal structure of the zinc-bound HP0892 toxin at 1.8 Å resolution. Reorientation of residues at the mRNase active site was shown. The involved residues, namely E58A, H86A, and H58A/ H60A, were mutated and the binding affinity was monitored by ITC studies. Through the structural difference between the apo and the metal-bound state, and using a homology modeling tool, the involvement of the metal ion in mRNase active site could be identified. The most catalytically important residue, His86, reorients itself to exhibit RNase activity. His47, Glu58, and His60 are involved in metal binding where Glu58 acts as a general base and His47 and His60 may also act as a general acid in enzymatic activity. Glu58 and Asp64 are involved in substrate binding and specific sequence recognition. Arg83 is involved in phosphate binding and stabilization of the transition state, and Phe90 is involved in base packing and substrate orientation.

Crystal structure of the Staphylococcus aureus pI258 CadC Cd(II)/Pb(II)/Zn(II)-responsive repressor.

Project description:The Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pI258 cadCA operon encodes a P-type ATPase, CadA, that confers resistance to the heavy metals Cd(II), Zn(II), and Pb(II). Expression of this heavy-metal efflux pump is regulated by CadC, a homodimeric repressor that dissociates from the cad operator/promoter upon binding of Cd(II), Pb(II), or Zn(II). CadC is a member of the ArsR/SmtB family of metalloregulatory proteins. Here we report the X-ray crystal structure of CadC at 1.9 angstroms resolution. The dimensions of the protein dimer are approximately 30 angstroms by 40 angstroms by 70 angstroms. Each monomer contains six alpha-helices and a three-stranded beta-sheet. Helices 4 and 5 form a classic helix-turn-helix motif that is the putative DNA binding region. The alpha1 helix of one monomer crosses the dimer to approach the alpha4 helix of the other monomer, consistent with the previous proposal that these two regulatory metal binding sites for the inducer cadmium or lead are each formed by Cys-7 and Cys-11 from the N terminus of one monomer and Cys-58 and Cys-60 of the other monomer. Two nonregulatory metal binding sites containing zinc are formed between the two antiparallel alpha6 helices at the dimerization interface. This is the first reported three-dimensional structure of a member of the ArsR/SmtB family with regulatory metal binding sites at the DNA binding domain and the first structure of a transcription repressor that responds to the heavy metals Cd(II) and Pb(II).

Gel Electrolyte Constructing Zn (002) Deposition Crystal Plane Toward Highly Stable Zn Anode.

Project description:Zinc (Zn) metal anode has been widely evaluated in aqueous Zn batteries. Nevertheless, the dendrite formation issue and consecutive side reactions severely impede the practical applications of Zn metal at high current densities. Herein, it is reported that engineering the gel electrolyte with multifunctional charged groups by incorporating a zwitterionic gel poly(3-(1-vinyl-3-imidazolio) propanesulfonate) (PVIPS) can effectively address the abovementioned issues. The charged groups of sulfonate and imidazole in the gel electrolyte can texture the Zn2+ nucleation and deposition plane to (002), which possesses a high activation energy to resist side reactions and induce uniform growth of Zn metal for a dendrite-free structure. In addition, the Zn2+ solvation structure can be manipulated by the charged groups to further eliminate side reactions for high rate performance Zn batteries. Consequently, the polyzwitterionic gel electrolyte enables a stable cycling with a cumulative capacity of 3000 mA h cm-2 at high density of 7.5 mA cm-2 for the symmetrical Zn battery, and a long-term cycling life for more than 1000 cycles at 5 C of Zn/MnO2 full battery. It is envisioned that the design of the gel electrolyte will provide promising feasibility on safe, flexible, and wearable energy storage devices.

Crystal structure of the zinc-dependent MarR family transcriptional regulator AdcR in the Zn(II)-bound state.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae adhesin competence regulator (AdcR), the first metal-dependent member of the multiple antibiotic resistance regulator (MarR) family of proteins, represses the transcription of a high-affinity zinc-specific uptake transporter, a group of surface antigen zinc-binding pneumococcal histidine triad proteins (PhtA, PhtB, PhtD, and PhtE), and an AdcA homologue (AdcAII). The 2.0 Å resolution structure of Zn(II)-bound AdcR reveals a highly helical two-fold-symmetric dimer with two distinct metal-binding sites per protomer. Zn(II) is tetrahedrally coordinated by E24, H42, H108, and H112 in what defines the primary sensing site in AdcR. Site 2 is a tetracoordinate site whose function is currently unknown. NMR methyl group perturbation experiments reveal that Zn(II) drives a global change in the structure of apo-AdcR that stabilizes a conformation that is compatible with DNA binding. This co-repression mechanism is unprecedented in MarR transcriptional regulators.

Crystal structure of a Zn complex with tereph-thalate and 1,6-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)hexa-ne.

Project description:A new zinc coordination polymer with rigid benzene-1,4-di-carboxyl-ate (bdc) and flexible 1,6-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)hexane (btrh), namely poly[[(μ2-benzene-1,4-di-carboxyl-ato)[μ2-1,6-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)hexa-ne]zinc] di-methyl-form-amide monosolvate], [Zn(C8H4O4)(C10H16N6)]·C3H7NO, was synthesized. According to the single-crystal XRD analysis, the product crystallizes in the P-1 space group and has a layered structure. Analysis of the layered structure reveals {Zn(bdc)} chains which are connected by pairs of btrh ligands. The layers are packed tightly perpendicular to the [1-22] direction, separated by one non-disordered di-methyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule per formula unit. According to thermogravimetric analysis, the product completely loses this solvent at 453 K; the desolvated compound is stable up to 503 K. As a result of the lack of hydrogen-donor groups, hydrogen bonds are not observed in the structure of the complex; however, an inter-molecular C-H⋯π contact of 3.07 Å occurs.

Lanthanite-(Nd), Nd2(CO3)3·8H2O.

Project description:Lanthanite-(Nd), ideally Nd2(CO3)3·8H2O [dineodymium(III) tricarbonate octa-hydrate], is a member of the lanthanite mineral group characterized by the general formula REE2(CO3)3·8H2O, where REE is a 10-coordinated rare earth element. Based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction of a natural sample from Mitsukoshi, Hizen-cho, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Japan, this study presents the first structure determination of lanthanite-(Nd). Its structure is very similar to that of other members of the lanthanite group. It is composed of infinite sheets made up of corner- and edge-sharing of two NdO10-polyhedra (both with site symmetry ..2) and two carbonate triangles (site symmetries ..2 and 1) parallel to the ab plane, and stacked perpendicular to c. These layers are linked to one another only through hydrogen bonding involving the water mol-ecules.
