A hydrogen-bonded channel structure formed by a complex of uracil and melamine.

ABSTRACT: The structure of a 1:1 complex of uracil and melamine obtained by cocrystallization has been investigated. The structure involves hydrogen bonded layers with apertures stacked along the a and b directions giving rise to channels, unlike the complex of cyanuric acid with melamine.

Self-organizing super-structures formed from hydrogen-bonded biimidazolate metal complexes.

Project description:Manipulation of molecular crystals formed from self-organization is one of the important methods to develop the new molecular functional materials. In particular, we look upon mutual cohesive interactions of hydrogen bonding and metal coordination as one useful tool to construct the preprogramming superstructures. In this study, five controlled superstructures of a one-dimensional linear chain--a zigzag ribbon, right-handed and left-handed helices, and a two-dimensional honeycomb sheet--are newly created by using the neutral metal complexes with some 2,2'-biimidazolate mono-anions.

Naloxegol hydrogen oxalate displaying a hydrogen-bonded layer structure.

Project description:In the salt (5α,6α)-6-[(2,5,8,11,14,17,20-hepta-oxadocosan-22-yl)-oxy]-3,14-dihy-droxy-17-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-4,5-ep-oxy-morphinan-17-ium hydrogen oxalate, C34H54NO11+·C2HO4- the polyether unit of the naloxegol cation adopts the shape of a squashed open letter 'O'. In the crystal, the hydrogen oxalate anions are linked into a chain by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Each naloxegol unit is hydrogen bonded to three hydrogen oxalate ions via two O-H⋯O and one N-H⋯O inter-actions. The resulting hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional layer structure is 3,5-connected and has the 3,5 L50 topology.

Monolayer nanosheets formed by liquid exfoliation of charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded frameworks.

Project description:Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a diverse and tunable class of materials, but their potential as free-standing two-dimensional nanomaterials has yet to be explored. Here we report the self-assembly of two layered hydrogen-bonded frameworks based on strong, charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding between carboxylate and amidinium groups. Ultrasound-assisted liquid exfoliation of both materials readily produces monolayer hydrogen-bonded organic nanosheets (HONs) with micron-sized lateral dimensions. The HONs show remarkable stability and maintain their extended crystallinity and monolayer structures even after being suspended in water at 80 °C for three days. These systems also exhibit efficient fluorescence quenching of an organic dye in organic solvents, superior to the quenching ability of the bulk frameworks. We anticipate that this approach will provide a route towards a diverse new family of molecular two-dimensional materials.

Hydrogen-bonded frameworks for molecular structure determination.

Project description:Single crystal X-ray diffraction is arguably the most definitive method for molecular structure determination, but the inability to grow suitable single crystals can frustrate conventional X-ray diffraction analysis. We report herein an approach to molecular structure determination that relies on a versatile toolkit of guanidinium organosulfonate hydrogen-bonded host frameworks that form crystalline inclusion compounds with target molecules in a single-step crystallization, complementing the crystalline sponge method that relies on diffusion of the target into the cages of a metal-organic framework. The peculiar properties of the host frameworks enable rapid stoichiometric inclusion of a wide range of target molecules with full occupancy, typically without disorder and accompanying solvent, affording well-refined structures. Moreover, anomalous scattering by the framework sulfur atoms enables reliable assignment of absolute configuration of stereogenic centers. An ever-expanding library of organosulfonates provides a toolkit of frameworks for capturing specific target molecules for their structure determination.

Uracil Derivatives for Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:Among non-covalent interactions, halogen bonding is emerging as a new powerful tool for supramolecular self-assembly. Here, along with a green and effective method, we report three new halogen-bonded cocrystals containing uracil derivatives and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene as X-bond donor coformer. These multicomponent solids were prepared both by solvent-drop grinding and solution methods and further characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, and thermal methods (TGA-DSC). In order to study the relative importance of hydrogen versus halogen bonds in the crystal packing, computational methods were applied.

Structure of the uracil complex of Vaccinia virus uracil DNA glycosylase.

Project description:Poxvirus uracil DNA glycosylases are the most diverse members of the family I uracil DNA glycosylases (UNGs). The crystal structure of the uracil complex of Vaccinia virus uracil DNA glycosylase (D4) was determined at 2.03 Å resolution. One uracil molecule was located in the active-site pocket in each of the 12 noncrystallographic symmetry-related D4 subunits. Although the UNGs of the poxviruses (including D4) feature significant differences in the characteristic motifs designated for uracil recognition and in the base-excision mechanism, the architecture of the active-site pocket in D4 is very similar to that in UNGs of other organisms. Overall, the interactions of the bound uracil with the active-site residues are also similar to the interactions previously observed in the structures of human and Escherichia coli UNG.

Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework Structure: A Metal-Free Electrocatalyst for the Evolution of Hydrogen.

Project description:The hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have gained significant attention due to their various alluring applications in the fascinating field of supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic activity of HOFs toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by utilizing the molecular adduct of cyanuric and trithiocyanuric acid with various organic substrates (melamine and 4,4'-bipyridine). Both the experimental and theoretical findings provide insights and validate the electrocatalytic activity toward HER applications. This work contributes significantly to designing novel highly efficient metal-free HOF-based electrocatalysts for the HER.

Hydrogen-bonded co-crystal structure of benzoic acid and zwitterionic l-proline.

Project description:The title compound [systematic name: benzoic acid-pyrrolidin-1-ium-2-carboxyl-ate (1/1)], C7H6O2·C5H9NO2, is an example of the application of non-centrosymmetric co-crystallization for the growth of a crystal containing a typically centrosymmetric component in a chiral space group. It co-crystallizes in the space group P212121 and contains benzoic acid and l-proline in equal proportions. The crystal structure exhibits chains of l-proline zwitterions capped by benzoic acid mol-ecules which form a C(5)[R33(11)] hydrogen-bonded network along [100]. The crystal structure is examined and compared to that of a similar co-crystal containing l-proline zwitterions and 4-amino-benzoic acid.

Inhibitors of the M2 Proton Channel Engage and Disrupt Transmembrane Networks of Hydrogen-Bonded Waters.

Project description:Water-mediated interactions play key roles in drug binding. In protein sites with sparse polar functionality, a small-molecule approach is often viewed as insufficient to achieve high affinity and specificity. Here we show that small molecules can enable potent inhibition by targeting key waters. The M2 proton channel of influenza A is the target of the antiviral drugs amantadine and rimantadine. Structural studies of drug binding to the channel using X-ray crystallography have been limited because of the challenging nature of the target, with the one previously solved crystal structure limited to 3.5 Å resolution. Here we describe crystal structures of amantadine bound to M2 in the Inwardclosed conformation (2.00 Å), rimantadine bound to M2 in both the Inwardclosed (2.00 Å) and Inwardopen (2.25 Å) conformations, and a spiro-adamantyl amine inhibitor bound to M2 in the Inwardclosed conformation (2.63 Å). These X-ray crystal structures of the M2 proton channel with bound inhibitors reveal that ammonium groups bind to water-lined sites that are hypothesized to stabilize transient hydronium ions formed in the proton-conduction mechanism. Furthermore, the ammonium and adamantyl groups of the adamantyl-amine class of drugs are free to rotate in the channel, minimizing the entropic cost of binding. These drug-bound complexes provide the first high-resolution structures of drugs that interact with and disrupt networks of hydrogen-bonded waters that are widely utilized throughout nature to facilitate proton diffusion within proteins.
