Crystal structure of the solid solution (Sr1.65Pb0.35)Al6O11.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, di(strontium/lead) hexa-aluminate, is a member of the solid solution series (Sr2-x Pb x )Al6O11. It contains two statistically occupied M (2+) (M = Sr, Pb) sites [both with site symmetries ..m; Sr:Pb occupancy ratios = 0.756?(2):0.244?(2) and 0.8968?(19):0.1032?(19)] that are located in the voids of an aluminate framework. The M (2+) sites are surrounded by six and seven O atoms, respectively, if a cut-off M-O distance of 3?Å is chosen, resulting in considerably distorted MO x polyhedra. The aluminate framework consists of three AlO6 octa-hedra (two with point-group symmetries ..2/m and one with ..2) sharing edges to form partially filled layers extending parallel to (100) and located at x = 0, 0.5. Adjacent AlO6 layers are linked by a network made up from two crystallographically different AlO4 tetra-hedra by sharing corners.

Derived crystal structure of martensitic materials by solid-solid phase transformation.

Project description:A mathematical description of crystal structure is proposed consisting of two parts: the underlying translational periodicity and the distinct atomic positions up to the symmetry operations in the unit cell, consistent with the International Tables for Crystallography. By the Cauchy-Born hypothesis, such a description can be integrated with the theory of continuum mechanics to calculate a derived crystal structure produced by solid-solid phase transformation. In addition, the expressions for the orientation relationship between the parent lattice and the derived lattice are generalized. The derived structure rationalizes the lattice parameters and the general equivalent atomic positions that assist the indexing process of X-ray diffraction analysis for low-symmetry martensitic materials undergoing phase transformation. The analysis is demonstrated in a CuAlMn shape memory alloy. From its austenite phase (L21 face-centered cubic structure), it is identified that the derived martensitic structure has orthorhombic symmetry Pmmn with the derived lattice parameters ad = 4.36491, bd = 5.40865 and cd = 4.2402 Å, by which the complicated X-ray Laue diffraction pattern can be well indexed, and the orientation relationship can be verified.

Synthesis, Solution and Solid State Structure of Titanium-Maltol Complex.

Project description:The reaction of Cp(2)TiCl(2) with two equivalents of maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone) in water, at room temperature and pH of 5.4, leads to a complete replacement of Cp and chloride ligands affording, Ti(maltolato)(2)(OH)(2.) The complex has been characterized by IR, NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetry methods. In DMSO-d(6) solution, the complex shows two isomers in a ratio of 4:1, in which one OH signal can be identified per isomer. This suggests that in solution the complex is monomeric, most likely a chiral cis-Ti(maltolato)(2)(OH)(2) and trans-Ti(maltolato)(2)(OH)(2). The monomeric nature of the complex (in water/methanol 1:1) was verified by ESI-MS spectroscopy, showing a parent peak at 329 m/z. Electrochemical behavior of Ti(maltolato)(2)(OH)(2) using cyclic voltammetry experiments showed the complex undergoes irreversible reduction in aprotic solvents. In D(2)O solution, at pH of 8.4, the (1)H NMR spectrum of the complex shows a mixture of monomer and tetramer Ti(IV)-maltol complexes in a ratio of 1:1. The crystallization of Ti(maltolato)(2)(OH)(2) at pH of 8.4 leads to the formation of [Ti(4)(maltolato)(8)(?-O(4))]•18H(2)O. A single crystal of [Ti(4)(maltolato)(8)(?-O(4))]•18H(2)O was analyzed by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in a monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 12.617(4) Å, b = 24.058(8) Å, c = 22.686(7) Å, ?= 97.678(4)° and V = 6824(4) Å(3) for Z = 4. Solid state structure determination of the Ti-maltol complex showed to be tetrameric, containing two bridging oxides (in cis position) and two bidentate maltol ligands per titanium in a pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry.

Structure and Transport Properties of the BiCuSeO-BiCuSO Solid Solution.

Project description:In this paper, we report on the crystal structure and the electrical and thermal transport properties of the BiCuSe1-xSxO series. From the evolution of the structural parameters with the substitution rate, we can confidently conclude that a complete solid solution exists between the BiCuSeO and BiCuSO end members, without any miscibility gap. However, the decrease of the stability of the materials when increasing the sulfur fraction, with a simultaneous volatilization, makes it difficult to obtain S-rich samples in a single phase. The band gap of the materials linearly increases between 0.8 eV for BiCuSeO and 1.1 eV in BiCuSO, and the covalent character of the Cu-Ch (Ch = chalcogen element, namely S or Se here) bond slightly decreases when increasing the sulfur fraction. The thermal conductivity of the end members is nearly the same, but a significant decrease is observed for the samples belonging to the solid solution, which can be explained by point defect scattering due to atomic mass and radii fluctuations between Se and S. When increasing the sulfur fraction, the electrical resistivity of the samples strongly increases, which could be linked to an evolution of the energy of formation of copper vacancies, which act as acceptor dopants in these materials.

The crystal and solution structure of YdiE from Escherichia coli.

Project description:Iron-containing porphyrins are essential for all life as electron carriers. Since iron is poorly available in an oxidizing environment, bacterial growth may be restricted by iron limitation, and this has led to the evolution of a huge variety of iron-uptake systems. Among pathogens, iron scavenging from the haemoglobin of an animal host is a common means of acquiring sufficient iron for growth. The Isd system of Staphylococcus aureus is a well studied example; the bacterium devotes considerable resources to the construction of surface proteins that deftly remove haem from haemoglobin and pass it along a chain of related proteins, eventually delivering the haem to the cytoplasm, where it can be utilized or degraded. All organisms, however, must deal with haem and related molecules, which are by their nature hydrophobic and prone to precipitate, and which tend to promote the formation of reactive oxygen species. Chaperones are an obvious solution to the problem of maintaining a pool of haem for insertion into cytochromes without allowing naked haem to cause damage. YdiE is a very small protein from Escherichia coli of only 63 residues which may play a role in haem trafficking. Here, NMR analysis and the crystal structure of the protein to high resolution are reported.

Crystal and solution structure of the human RIG-I SF2 domain.

Project description:RIG-I is a pathogen-recognition receptor that recognizes viral 5'-triphosphates carrying double-stranded RNA. Upon binding to these microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), RIG-I forms oligomers and promotes downstream processes that result in type I interferon production and induction of an antiviral state. Here, the crystal structure of the human RIG-I superfamily 2 ATPase domain crystallized in an unusually elongated and open conformation is reported. The elongated structure is probably induced in part by crystal packing, but nevertheless indicates that the domain is intrinsically very flexible. This flexibility might allow substantial structural changes upon substrate binding and oligomerization.

Structure, optical and magnetic properties of new Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3- SrMnO3-? solid solution materials.

Project description:The new Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-SrMnO3-? solid solution materials were fabricated via sol-gel method. The random incorporation of Sr and Mn cations into host lattice of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 resulted in structural distortion and influenced on the reduction of the optical band gap from 3.07?eV to 1.81?eV for pure Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 and 9?mol% SrMnO3-? solid solution into Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3. The magnetic properties of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 materials at room temperature were tuned via compensation of diamagnetic material with weak-ferromagnetism to ferromagnetism with low SrMnO3-? content and combination of paramagnetism/antiferromagnetism-like and ferromagnetism with higher SrMnO3-? content solid solution in Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3. The tunable magnetic and optical properties of lead-free ferroelectric materials was promising for their application to green electronic devices.

Membrane Protein Structure Determination and Characterisation by Solution and Solid-State NMR.

Project description:Biological membranes define the interface of life and its basic unit, the cell. Membrane proteins play key roles in membrane functions, yet their structure and mechanisms remain poorly understood. Breakthroughs in crystallography and electron microscopy have invigorated structural analysis while failing to characterise key functional interactions with lipids, small molecules and membrane modulators, as well as their conformational polymorphism and dynamics. NMR is uniquely suited to resolving atomic environments within complex molecular assemblies and reporting on membrane organisation, protein structure, lipid and polysaccharide composition, conformational variations and molecular interactions. The main challenge in membrane protein studies at the atomic level remains the need for a membrane environment to support their fold. NMR studies in membrane mimetics and membranes of increasing complexity offer close to native environments for structural and molecular studies of membrane proteins. Solution NMR inherits high resolution from small molecule analysis, providing insights from detergent solubilised proteins and small molecular assemblies. Solid-state NMR achieves high resolution in membrane samples through fast sample spinning or sample alignment. Recent developments in dynamic nuclear polarisation NMR allow signal enhancement by orders of magnitude opening new opportunities for expanding the applications of NMR to studies of native membranes and whole cells.

Inhibition, crystal structures, and in-solution oligomeric structure of aldehyde dehydrogenase 9A1.

Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenase 9A1 (ALDH9A1) is a human enzyme that catalyzes the NAD+-dependent oxidation of the carnitine precursor 4-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde to 4-N-trimethylaminobutyrate. Here we show that the broad-spectrum ALDH inhibitor diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB) reversibly inhibits ALDH9A1 in a time-dependent manner. Possible mechanisms of inhibition include covalent reversible inactivation involving the thiohemiacetal intermediate and slow, tight-binding inhibition. Two crystal structures of ALDH9A1 are reported, including the first of the enzyme complexed with NAD+. One of the structures reveals the active conformation of the enzyme, in which the Rossmann dinucleotide-binding domain is fully ordered and the inter-domain linker adopts the canonical β-hairpin observed in other ALDH structures. The oligomeric structure of ALDH9A1 was investigated using analytical ultracentrifugation, small-angle X-ray scattering, and negative stain electron microscopy. These data show that ALDH9A1 forms the classic ALDH superfamily dimer-of-dimers tetramer in solution. Our results suggest that the presence of an aldehyde substrate and NAD+ promotes isomerization of the enzyme into the active conformation.

Crystal structure of the solid solution Ba8.35Pb0.65(B3O6)6.

Project description:Single crystals of lead barium borate, Ba8.35Pb0.65(B3O6)6, octabarium lead(II) hexa-kis-(triborate), have been obtained by spontaneous nucleation from a high-temperature melt. Its three-dimensional structure is constructed on the basis of a BaO9 polyhedron, a (Pb/Ba)O6 octa-hedron (occupancy ratio Pb:Ba = 0.216:0.784) and a condensed B3O6 ring anion. In the crystal, the planar B3O6 anions are stacked in an alternating fashion with Ba and (Pb/Ba) atoms along [001]. A comparison is made with the structures of related solid solutions in the system Ba/Pb/B/O.

Selective control of fcc and hcp crystal structures in Au-Ru solid-solution alloy nanoparticles.

Project description:Binary solid-solution alloys generally adopt one of three principal crystal lattices-body-centred cubic (bcc), hexagonal close-packed (hcp) or face-centred cubic (fcc) structures-in which the structure is dominated by constituent elements and compositions. Therefore, it is a significant challenge to selectively control the crystal structure in alloys with a certain composition. Here, we propose an approach for the selective control of the crystal structure in solid-solution alloys by using a chemical reduction method. By precisely tuning the reduction speed of the metal precursors, we selectively control the crystal structure of alloy nanoparticles, and are able to selectively synthesize fcc and hcp AuRu3 alloy nanoparticles at ambient conditions. This approach enables us to design alloy nanomaterials with the desired crystal structures to create innovative chemical and physical properties.
