Weak inter-actions in the crystal structures of two indole derivatives.

Project description:We describe the syntheses and crystal structures of two indole derivatives, namely a second monoclinic polymorph of ethyl 5-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate C11H10ClNO2, (I), and ethyl 5-chloro-3-iodo-1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate, C11H9ClINO2, (II). In their crystal structures, both compounds form inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate R 2 (2)(10) loops. The dimers are linked into double chains in (I) and sheets in (II) by a variety of weak inter-actions, including π-π stacking, C-I⋯π, C-Cl-π inter-actions and I⋯Cl halogen bonds.

Different weak inter-actions in the crystals of three isomeric (E)-N-methyl-N'-(nitro-benzyl-idene)-2-(thio-phen-2-yl)acetohydrazides.

Project description:The crystal structures of three isomeric (E)-N-methyl-N'-(nitro-benzyl-idene)-2-(thio-phen-2-yl)acetohydrazides (formula C14H13N3O3S) are described, with the nitro group in ortho, meta and para positions in the benzene ring. In each crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by various weak inter-actions (C-H?O and C-H?? bonds, and ?-? stacking), leading to three-dimensional networks in each case, but with little similarity between them.

Different packing motifs mediated by weak inter-actions and polymorphism in the crystal structures of five 2-(benzyl-idene)benzosuberone derivatives.

Project description:The syntheses and crystal structures of five 2-benzyl-idene-1-benzosuberone [1-benzosuberone is 6,7,8,9-tetra-hydro-5H-benzo[7]annulen-5-one] derivatives, viz. 2-(4-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-1-benzosuberone, C19H18O2, (I), 2-(4-eth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-1-benzosuberone, C20H20O2, (II), 2-(4-benzyl-benzyl-idene)-1-benzosuberone, C25H22O2, (III), 2-(4-chloro-benzyl-idene)-1-benzosuberone, C18H15ClO, (IV) and 2-(4-cyano-benzyl-idene)-1-benzosuberone, C19H15NO, (V), are described. The conformations of the benzosuberone fused six- plus seven-membered ring fragments are very similar in each case, but the dihedral angles between the fused benzene ring and the pendant benzene ring differ somewhat, with values of 23.79?(3) for (I), 24.60?(4) for (II), 33.72?(4) for (III), 29.93?(8) for (IV) and 21.81?(7)° for (V). Key features of the packing include pairwise C-H?O hydrogen bonds for (II) and (IV), and pairwise C-H?N hydrogen bonds for (V), which generate inversion dimers in each case. The packing for (I) and (III) feature C-H?O hydrogen bonds, which lead to [010] and [100] chains, respectively. Weak C-H?? inter-actions consolidate the structures and weak aromatic ?-? stacking is seen in (II) [centroid-centroid separation = 3.8414?(7)?Å] and (III) [3.9475?(7)?Å]. A polymorph of (I) crystallized from a different solvent has been reported previously [Dimmock et al. (1999 ?) J. Med. Chem. 42, 1358-1366] in the same space group but with a packing motif based on inversion dimers resembling that seen in (IV) in the present study. The Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots for (I) and its polymorph are com-pared and structural features of the 2-benzyl-idene-1-benzosuberone family of phases are surveyed.

Protocol matters: which methylome are you actually studying?

Project description:The field of epigenetics is now capitalizing on the vast number of emerging technologies, largely based on second-generation sequencing, which interrogate DNA methylation status and histone modifications genome-wide. However, getting an exhaustive and unbiased view of a methylome at a reasonable cost is proving to be a significant challenge. In this article, we take a closer look at the impact of the DNA sequence and bias effects introduced to datasets by genome-wide DNA methylation technologies and where possible, explore the bioinformatics tools that deconvolve them. There remains much to be learned about the performance of genome-wide technologies, the data we mine from these assays and how it reflects the actual biology. While there are several methods to interrogate the DNA methylation status genome-wide, our opinion is that no single technique suitably covers the minimum criteria of high coverage and, high resolution at a reasonable cost. In fact, the fraction of the methylome that is studied currently depends entirely on the inherent biases of the protocol employed. There is promise for this to change, as the third generation of sequencing technologies is expected to again 'revolutionize' the way that we study genomes and epigenomes.

Inter-molecular inter-actions in a phenol-substituted benzimidazole.

Project description:Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the design of solid-state structures and gels with desirable properties. 1-(4-Hydroxybenzyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole was isolated as the acetone disolvate, C22H20N2O2·2C3H6O. O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding between benz-imidazole mol-ecules results in chains parallel to [010]. One of the acetone solvate mol-ecules participates in O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding with the benzimidazole derivative. C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed in the extended structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to explore the inter-molecular inter-actions and density functional theory was used to estimate the strength of the hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen-bond inter-actions in morpholinium bromide.

Project description:In the title compound, C(4)H(10)NO(+)·Br(-), which was synthesized by dehydration of diethano-lamine with HBr, morpholinium and bromide ions are linked into chains by N-H?Br hydrogen bonds describing a C(2) (1)(4) graph-set motif. Weaker bifurcated N-H?Br inter-actions join centrosymmetrically related chains through alternating binary graph-set R(4) (2)(8) and R(2) (2)(4) motifs, to form ladders along [100]. In addition, C-H?O inter-actions between centrosymmetric morpholinium cations link ladders, via[Formula: see text](8) motifs, to yield sheets parallel to (101), which in turn are crosslinked by weak C-H?O inter-actions, related across a glide plane, to form a three-dimensional network.

Redetermined structure, inter-molecular inter-actions and absolute configuration of royleanone.

Project description:The structure of the title diterpenoid, C(20)H(28)O(3), {systematic name: (4bS,8aS)-3-hy-droxy-2-isopropyl-4b,8,8-trimethyl-4b,5,6,7,8,8a,9,10-octa-hydro-phenanthrene-1,4-dione} is confirmed [Eugster et al. (1993 ?). Private communication (refcode HACGUN). CCDC, Union Road, Cambridge] and its packing is now described. Its absolute structure was established by refinement against data collected with Cu radiation: the two stereogenic centres both have S configurations. One cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation whereas the other cyclo-hexane ring is in a half-chair conformation and the benzoquinone ring is slightly twisted. An intra-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bond generates an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains along [010] by O-H?O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H?O inter-actions. The packing also features C?O [3.131?(3)?Å] short contacts.

Different N-H⋯π inter-actions in two indole derivatives.

Project description:We describe the syntheses and crystal structures of two indole derivatives, namely 6-isopropyl-3-(2-nitro-1-phenyl-eth-yl)-1H-indole, C19H20N2O2, (I), and 2-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-3-(2-nitro-1-phenyl-eth-yl)-1H-indole, C23H20N2O3, (II); the latter crystallizes with two mol-ecules (A and B) with similar conformations (r.m.s. overlay fit = 0.139 Å) in the asymmetric unit. Despite the presence of O atoms as potential acceptors for classical hydrogen bonds, the dominant inter-molecular inter-action in each crystal is an N-H⋯π bond, which generates chains in (I) and A+A and B+B inversion dimers in (II). A different aromatic ring acts as the acceptor in each case. The packing is consolidated by C-H⋯π inter-actions in each case but aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions are absent.

Empathy matters: ERP evidence for inter-individual differences in social language processing.

Project description:When an adult claims he cannot sleep without his teddy bear, people tend to react surprised. Language interpretation is, thus, influenced by social context, such as who the speaker is. The present study reveals inter-individual differences in brain reactivity to social aspects of language. Whereas women showed brain reactivity when stereotype-based inferences about a speaker conflicted with the content of the message, men did not. This sex difference in social information processing can be explained by a specific cognitive trait, one's ability to empathize. Individuals who empathize to a greater degree revealed larger N400 effects (as well as a larger increase in ?-band power) to socially relevant information. These results indicate that individuals with high-empathizing skills are able to rapidly integrate information about the speaker with the content of the message, as they make use of voice-based inferences about the speaker to process language in a top-down manner. Alternatively, individuals with lower empathizing skills did not use information about social stereotypes in implicit sentence comprehension, but rather took a more bottom-up approach to the processing of these social pragmatic sentences.
