Chiral crystallization of a zinc(II) complex.

ABSTRACT: The compound, {6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[(4-azaheptane-1,7-di-yl)bis-(nitrilo-meth-an-yl-idyne)]diphenolato}zinc(II) methanol monosolvate, [Zn(C₂₂H₂₇N₃O₄)]·CH₃OH, at 298 K crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pna2₁. The Zn atom is coordinated by a penta-dentate Schiff base ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal N₃O₂ geometry. The equatorial plane is formed by the two phenolic O and one amine N atom. The axial positions are occupied by two amine N atoms. The distorted bipyramidal geometry is also supported by the trigonality index (τ), which is found to be 0.85 for the mol-ecule. In the crystal, methanol solvent mol-ecule is connected to the complex mol-ecule by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the complex mol-ecules are connected by weak supra-molecular inter-actions, so achiral mol-ecules generate a chiral crystal. The Hirshfeld surface analysis suggests that H⋯H contacts account for the largest percentage of all inter-actions.

Curvature instability of chiral colloidal membranes on crystallization.

Project description:Buckling and wrinkling instabilities are failure modes of elastic sheets that are avoided in the traditional material design. Recently, a new paradigm has appeared where these instabilities are instead being utilized for high-performance applications. Multiple approaches such as heterogeneous gelation, capillary stresses, and confinement have been used to shape thin macroscopic elastic sheets. However, it remains a challenge to shape two-dimensional self-assembled monolayers at colloidal or molecular length scales. Here, we show the existence of a curvature instability that arises during the crystallization of finite-sized monolayer membranes of chiral colloidal rods. While the bulk of the membrane crystallizes, its edge remains fluid like and exhibits chiral ordering. The resulting internal stresses cause the flat membrane to buckle macroscopically and wrinkle locally. Our results demonstrate an alternate pathway based on intrinsic stresses instead of the usual external ones to assemble non-Euclidean sheets at the colloidal length scale.

A photofunctional bottom-up bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complex nanosheet.

Project description:Two-dimensional polymeric nanosheets have recently gained much attention, particularly top-down nanosheets such as graphene and metal chalcogenides originating from bulk-layered mother materials. Although molecule-based bottom-up nanosheets manufactured directly from molecular components can exhibit greater structural diversity than top-down nanosheets, the bottom-up nanosheets reported thus far lack useful functionalities. Here we show the design and synthesis of a bottom-up nanosheet featuring a photoactive bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complex motif. A liquid/liquid interfacial synthesis between a three-way dipyrrin ligand and zinc(II) ions results in a multi-layer nanosheet, whereas an air/liquid interfacial reaction produces a single-layer or few-layer nanosheet with domain sizes of >10??m on one side. The bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) metal complex nanosheet is easy to deposit on various substrates using the Langmuir-Schäfer process. The nanosheet deposited on a transparent SnO2 electrode functions as a photoanode in a photoelectric conversion system, and is thus the first photofunctional bottom-up nanosheet.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human importin ?-Snail zinc finger domain complex.

Project description:Snail is a C2H2-type zinc finger transcriptional repressor that induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition by repression of E-cadherin expression levels during embryonic development and tumour progression. Snail is imported into the nucleus by importin ? through direct binding with its four zinc finger domain. The complex between importin ? and Snail four zinc finger domain was crystallized in order to understand the nuclear transport mechanism of Snail. The constituents of the complex were separately expressed and were then co-purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 228.2, b = 77.5, c = 72.0?Å, ? = 100.9° and diffracted to 2.5?Å resolution.

Synthesis and crystal structure of a new chiral α-aminooxime nickel(II) complex

Project description:The reaction of a nickel precursor with an enantiomerically pure amino-oxime issued from (R)-limonene led to the formation of bis[κ3N,N,N-(aminooxime)-μ-chlorido]dichlorodinickel as a new dinuclear nickel complex. A dinuclear nickel complex with (S)-limonene based aminooxime ligand has been isolated and its crystal structure determined. The resolved structure of dichloridobis{(2S,5R)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-2-[(pyridin-2-yl)methylamino]cyclohexan-1-one oxime}dinickel(II), [Ni2Cl2(C16H23ClN3O)2], at 100 K has monoclinic (P21) symmetry. The two NiII ions in the dinuclear complex are each coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by three nitrogen atoms, a terminal chloride and two μ bridging chlorides. Each oxime ligand is coordinated to nickel(II) by the three nitrogen atoms, leading to two five-membered chelate rings, each displaying an envelope conformation. In the crystal, numerous intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.

Crystallization of mitochondrial respiratory complex II from chicken heart: a membrane-protein complex diffracting to 2.0 A.

Project description:A procedure is presented for preparation of diffraction-quality crystals of a vertebrate mitochondrial respiratory complex II. The crystals have the potential to diffract to at least 2.0 A with optimization of post-crystal-growth treatment and cryoprotection. This should allow determination of the structure of this important and medically relevant membrane-protein complex at near-atomic resolution and provide great detail of the mode of binding of substrates and inhibitors at the two substrate-binding sites.

Unprecedented alkene complex of zinc(II): structures and bonding of divinylzinc complexes.

Project description:This report describes the solid-state structures of a series of divinylzinc complexes, one of which represents the only structurally characterized zinc(II) pi-complex. Vinylzinc reagents, Zn[C(Me)=CH2]2 (1) and Zn[C(H)=CMe2]2 (2), have been synthesized and isolated as white crystalline solids in 66 and 72% yield, respectively. Each compound exhibits an infinite polymeric architecture in the solid state via a series of zinc-pi (1) and zinc-sigma-bonded (2) bridging interactions. Addition of chelating ligands to these divinylzinc compounds allowed isolation of the monomeric adducts (bipy)Zn[C(Me)=CH2]2 (1.bipy), (tmeda)Zn[C(Me)=CH2]2 (1*tmeda), (bipy)Zn[C(H)=CMe2]2 (2*bipy), and (tmeda)Zn[C(H)=CMe2]2 (2*tmeda), of which 1*bipy, 2*bipy, and 2*tmeda have been characterized crystallographically.

Synthesis, immobilization and catalytic activity of a copper(II) complex with a chiral bis(oxazoline).

Project description:A chiral bis(oxazoline) bearing CH2OH groups was synthesized from a commercial bis(oxazoline) and characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR, high resolution ESI-mass spectrometry and FTIR. The corresponding copper(II) complex was immobilized onto the surface of a mesoporous carbonaceous material (Starbon® 700) in which the double bonds had been activated via conventional bromination. The materials were characterized by elemental analysis, ICP-OES, XPS, thermogravimetry and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The new copper(II) bis(oxazoline) was tested both in the homogeneous phase and once immobilized onto a carbonaceous support for the kinetic resolution of hydrobenzoin. Both were active, enantioselective and selective in the mono-benzoylation of hydrobenzoin, but better enantioselectivities were obtained in the homogeneous phase. The heterogeneous catalyst could be separated from the reaction media at the end of the reaction and reused in another catalytic cycle, but with loss of product yield and enantioselectivity.

One-step multicomponent synthesis of chiral oxazolinyl-zinc complexes.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Typically, oxazolinyl metal complexes are synthesized in two steps, where the free ligand is prepared by the condensation reaction between a functionalized nitrile and an amino alcohol in the presence of a Lewis or Brønsted acid catalyst, followed by a further reaction with metal salts to obtain the corresponding metal complexes. Very often, the yield afforded by the two-step procedure is not high, and very few oxazolinyl zinc complexes have been prepared by this route. Given that metal-oxazoline complexes often contain Lewis acidic metals, it is conceivable that the two steps may be telescoped. RESULTS:A series of novel chiral organozinc complexes 1-15 were assembled in a single step, All crystalline compounds were fully characterized, including the report of 15 X-ray crystal structures, including a wide structural diversity. CONCLUSIONS:A series of novel chiral organozinc complexes were assembled in a single step, from nitriles, chiral D/L amino alcohols, and a stoichiometric amount of ZnCl2, with moderate to high yields (20-90%).

Cadmium-induced crystallization of proteins: II. Crystallization of the Salmonella typhimurium histidine-binding protein in complex with L-histidine, L-arginine, or L-lysine.

Project description:To further investigate favorable effects of divalent cations on the formation of protein crystals, three complexes of Salmonella typhimurium histidine-binding protein were crystallized with varying concentrations of cadmium salts. For each of the three histidine-binding protein complexes, cadmium cations were found to promote or improve crystallization. The optimal cadmium concentration is ligand specific and falls within a narrow concentration range. In each case, crystals grown in the presence of cadmium diffract to better than 2.0 angstroms resolution and belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). From our results and from the analysis of cadmium sites in well-refined protein structures, we propose that cadmium addition provides a generally useful technique to modify crystal morphology and to improve diffraction quality.
