Crystal structure and characterization of magnesium carbonate chloride heptahydrate.

ABSTRACT: MgCO3·MgCl2·7H2O is the only known neutral magnesium carbonate containing chloride ions at ambient conditions. According to the literature, only small and twinned crystals of this double salt could be synthesised in a concentrated solution of MgCl2. For the crystal structure solution, single-crystal diffraction was carried out at a synchrotron radiation source. The monoclinic crystal structure (space group Cc) exhibits double chains of MgO octahedra linked by corners, connected by carbonate units and water molecules. The chloride ions are positioned between these double chains parallel to the (100) plane. Dry MgCO3·MgCl2·7H2O decomposes in the air to chlorartinite, Mg2(OH)Cl(CO3)·nH2O (n = 2 or 3). This work includes an extensive characterization of the title compound by powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, SEM and vibrational spectroscopy.

Sodium sulfite heptahydrate and its relation to sodium carbonate heptahydrate.

Project description:The monoclinic crystal structure of Na2SO3(H2O)7 is characterized by an alternating stacking of (100) cationic sodium-water layers and anionic sulfite layers along [100]. The cationic layers are made up from two types of [Na(H2O)6] octahedra that form linear 1?[Na(H2O)4/2(H2O)2/1] chains linked by dimeric [Na(H2O)2/2(H2O)4/1]2 units on both sides of the chains. The isolated trigonal-pyramidal sulfite anions are connected to the cationic layers through an intricate network of O-H...O hydrogen bonds, together with a remarkable O-H...S hydrogen bond, with an O...S donor-acceptor distance of 3.2582?(6)?Å, which is about 0.05?Å shorter than the average for O-H...S hydrogen bonds in thiosalt hydrates and organic sulfur compounds of the type Y-S-Z (Y/Z = C, N, O or S). Structural relationships between monoclinic Na2SO3(H2O)7 and orthorhombic Na2CO3(H2O)7 are discussed in detail.

In Situ Observation of the Structure of Crystallizing Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate Solutions with Terahertz Transmission Spectroscopy.

Project description:Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in a transmission geometry combined with visual analysis was used to investigate the crystallization process of MgSO4 solution. Careful spectral analysis of both a feature at 1.6 THz and the overall magnitude of absorption allowed the extraction of information about the liquid phase before and during crystallization, aiding the investigation of solvation dynamics and the behavior of molecular species at phase boundaries. The method was reproducibly applied to a number of measurements on a series of solutions of three chosen concentrations at different temperatures. When increasing temperature at the end of the measurement, the dissolution of crystals was observed as well. The temperature-dependent absorption data of the semicrystalline systems were converted to the solvent concentrations using a recently developed method. Solutions of a series of concentrations were also investigated in the temperature range of 4-25 °C. The results were compared to the theoretical calculated values, and the consistent differences proved the existence of a hydration shell around the salt ions whose behavior is different from bulk water. Future work will focus on triggering nucleation at specific positions in order to study the very beginning of the crystallization process. MgSO4 heptahydrate is used as a model system in this study, while the concept and the setup can be applied to other systems.

Crystal structure of 4-carbamoylpyridinium chloride.

Project description:The hydro-chloride salt of isonicotinamide, C6H7N2O(+)·Cl(-), has been synthesized from a dilute solution of hydro-chloric acid in aceto-nitrile. The compound displays monoclinic symmetry (space group C2/c) at 150 K, similar to the related hydro-chloride salt of nicotinamide. The asymmetric unit contains one protonated isonicotinamide mol-ecule and a chloride anion. An array of hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, including a peculiar bifurcated pyridinium-chloride inter-action, results in linear chains running almost perpendicularly in the [150] and [1-50] directions within the structure. A description of the hydrogen-bonding network and comparison with similar compounds are presented.

Crystal structure of a di-aryl carbonate: 1,3-phenyl-ene bis-(phenyl carbonate).

Project description:The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, C20H14O6, is generated by mirror symmetry, the mirror bis-ecting the central benzene ring. The carbonate groups adopt an s-cis-s-cis conformation, with torsion angles of 58.7 (2) and 116.32 (15)°. The crystal structure of 1,3-phenyl-ene bis-(phenyl carbonate) contains no strong hydrogen bonds, though weak C-H⋯O and offset π-π inter-actions are observed, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.

Crystal structure of a dimeric ?-diketiminate magnesium complex.

Project description:The solid-state structure of a dimeric ?-diketiminate magnesium(II) complex is discussed. The compound, di-?-iodido-bis-[(-{4-amino-1,5-bis-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phen-yl]pent-3-en-2-yl-idene}aza-nido-?2N,N')magnesium(II)] toluene sesquisolvate, [Mg2(C29H41N2)2I2]·1.5C7H8, crystallizes as two independent mol-ecules, each with 2/m crystallographic site symmetry, located at Wyckoff sites 2c and 2d. These have symmetry-equivalent magnesium atoms bridged by ?-iodide ligands with very similar Mg-I distances. The two Mg atoms are located slightly below (?0.5?Å) the least-squares plane defined by N-C-C-N atoms in the ligand scaffold, and are approximately tetra-hedrally coordinated. One and one-half toluene solvent mol-ecules are disordered with respect to mirror-site symmetry at Wyckoff sites 4i and 2a, respectively. In the former case, two toluene mol-ecules inter-act in an off-center parallel stacking arrangement; the shortest C to C' (?-?) distance of 3.72?(1)?Å was measured for this inter-action.

Crystal structure of an archaeal CorB magnesium transporter.

Project description:CNNM/CorB proteins are a broadly conserved family of integral membrane proteins with close to 90,000 protein sequences known. They are associated with Mg2+ transport but it is not known if they mediate transport themselves or regulate other transporters. Here, we determine the crystal structure of an archaeal CorB protein in two conformations (apo and Mg2+-ATP bound). The transmembrane DUF21 domain exists in an inward-facing conformation with a Mg2+ ion coordinated by a conserved π-helix. In the absence of Mg2+-ATP, the CBS-pair domain adopts an elongated dimeric configuration with previously unobserved domain-domain contacts. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, analytical ultracentrifugation, and molecular dynamics experiments support a role of the structural rearrangements in mediating Mg2+-ATP sensing. Lastly, we use an in vitro, liposome-based assay to demonstrate direct Mg2+ transport by CorB proteins. These structural and functional insights provide a framework for understanding function of CNNMs in Mg2+ transport and associated diseases.

Temperature dependence of amorphous magnesium carbonate structure studied by PDF and XAFS analyses.

Project description:Mineral trapping through the precipitation of carbonate minerals is a potential approach to reduce CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere. The temperature dependence of amorphous magnesium carbonate (AMC), a precursor of crystalline magnesium carbonate hydrates, was investigated using synchrotron X-ray scattering experiments with atomic pair distribution function (PDF) and X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. PDF analysis revealed that there were no substantial structural differences among the AMC samples synthesized at 20, 60, and 80 °C. In addition, the medium-range order of all three AMC samples was very similar to that of hydromagnesite. Stirring in aqueous solution at room temperature caused the AMC sample to hydrate immediately and form a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network. Consequently, it crystallized with the long-range structural order of nesquehonite. The Mg K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectrum of AMC prepared at 20 °C was very similar to that of nesquehonite, implying that the electronic structure and coordination geometry of Mg atoms in AMC synthesized at 20 °C are highly similar to those in nesquehonite. Therefore, the short-range order (coordination environment) around the Mg atoms was slightly modified with temperature, but the medium-range order of AMC remained unchanged between 20 and 80 °C.

Crystal structure and functional characterization of a light-driven chloride pump having an NTQ motif.

Project description:A novel light-driven chloride-pumping rhodopsin (ClR) containing an 'NTQ motif' in its putative ion conduction pathway has been discovered and functionally characterized in a genomic analysis study of a marine bacterium. Here we report the crystal structure of ClR from the flavobacterium Nonlabens marinus S1-08(T) determined under two conditions at 2.0 and 1.56 Å resolutions. The structures reveal two chloride-binding sites, one around the protonated Schiff base and the other on a cytoplasmic loop. We identify a '3 omega motif' formed by three non-consecutive aromatic amino acids that is correlated with the B-C loop orientation. Detailed ClR structural analyses with functional studies in E. coli reveal the chloride ion transduction pathway. Our results help understand the molecular mechanism and physiological role of ClR and provide a structural basis for optogenetic applications.

Crystal structure of 2,2-di-phenyl-hydrazinium chloride.

Project description:In the title compound, C12H13N2 (+)·Cl(-), the chloride salt of 1,1'-di-phenyl-hydrazine, the phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 78.63?(17)°. The N-(+)NH3 bond lengths is 1.445?(3)?Å, and the N-Cphen-yl bond lengths are 1.435?(3) and 1.447?(4)?Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [10-1], which enclose two adjacent R (4) 2(6) ring motifs. The chains are reinforced by C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds.
