Molecular and Crystal Structure of a Chitosan-Zinc Chloride Complex.

ABSTRACT: We determined the molecular and packing structure of a chitosan-ZnCl₂ complex by X-ray diffraction and linked-atom least-squares. Eight D-glucosamine residues-composed of four chitosan chains with two-fold helical symmetry, and four ZnCl₂ molecules-were packed in a rectangular unit cell with dimensions a = 1.1677 nm, b = 1.7991 nm, and c = 1.0307 nm (where c is the fiber axis). We performed exhaustive structure searches by examining all of the possible chain packing modes. We also comprehensively searched the positions and spatial orientations of the ZnCl₂ molecules. Chitosan chains of antiparallel polarity formed zigzag-shaped chain sheets, where N2···O6, N2···N2, and O6···O6 intermolecular hydrogen bonds connected the neighboring chains. We further refined the packing positions of the ZnCl₂ molecules by theoretical calculations of the crystal models, which suggested a possible coordination scheme of Zn(II) with an O6 atom.

Crystal structure and DFT study of a zinc xanthate complex.

Project description:In the title compound, bis-(2-meth-oxy-ethyl xanthato-κS)(N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenedi-amine-κ2 N,N')zinc(II) acetone hemisolvate, [Zn(C4H7O2S2)2(C6H16N2)]·0.5C3H6O, the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenedi-amine ligand and two S atoms from two 2-meth-oxy-ethyl xanthate ligands. The amine ligand is disordered over two orientations and was modelled with refined occupancies of 0.538 (6) and 0.462 (6). The mol-ecular structure features two C-H⋯O and two C-H⋯S intra-molecular inter-actions. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture. The mol-ecular structure was optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level. The smallest HOMO-LUMO energy gap (3.19 eV) indicates the suitability of this crystal for optoelectronic applications. The mol-ecular electrostatic potential (MEP) further identifies the positive, negative and neutral electrostatic potential regions of the mol-ecules. Half a mol-ecule of disordered acetone was removed with the solvent-mask procedure in OLEX2 [Dolomanov et al. (2009 ▸). J. Appl. Cryst. 42, 339-341] and this contribition is included in the formula.

Crystal structure of human S100A8 in complex with zinc and calcium.

Project description:BackgroundS100 proteins are a large family of calcium binding proteins present only in vertebrates. They function intra- and extracellularly both as regulators of homeostatic processes and as potent effectors during inflammation. Among these, S100A8 and S100A9 are two major constituents of neutrophils that can assemble into homodimers, heterodimers and higher oligomeric species, including fibrillary structures found in the ageing prostate. Each of these forms assumes specific functions and their formation is dependent on divalent cations, notably calcium and zinc. In particular, zinc appears as a major regulator of S100 protein function in a disease context. Despite this central role, no structural information on how zinc bind to S100A8/S100A9 and regulates their quaternary structure is yet available.ResultsHere we report two crystallographic structures of calcium and zinc-loaded human S100A8. S100A8 binds two zinc ions per homodimer, through two symmetrical, all-His tetracoordination sites, revealing a classical His-Zn binding mode for the protein. Furthermore, the presence of a (Zn)2-cacodylate complex in our second crystal form induces ligand swapping within the canonical His4 zinc binding motif, thereby creating two new Zn-sites, one of which involves residues from symmetry-related molecules. Finally, we describe the calcium-induced S100A8 tetramer and reveal how zinc stabilizes this tetramer by tightening the dimer-dimer interface.ConclusionsOur structures of Zn(2+)/Ca(2+)-bound hS100A8 demonstrate that S100A8 is a genuine His-Zn S100 protein. Furthermore, they show how zinc stabilizes S100A8 tetramerization and potentially mediates the formation of novel interdimer interactions. We propose that these zinc-mediated interactions may serve as a basis for the generation of larger oligomers in vivo.

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 2,6-di-amino-pyridinium chloride.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C5H8N3 (+)·Cl(-), comprises one half of the 2,6-di-amino-pyridinium cation (the other half being completed by the application of mirror symmetry) and one Cl(-) counter-anion, also located on the mirror plane. The amino N atom shows a significant pyramidalization, with a dihedral angle of 30.4 (14)° between the least-squares planes of the amino group and the non-H atoms of the 2,6-di-amino-pyridinium moiety. In the crystal, the cationic mol-ecules and Cl(-) counter-anions are arranged in sheets parallel to (001) consisting of alternating polar and non-polar parts associated with the the Cl(-) anions, pyridinium and amino moieties, and the pyridine rings, respectively. N-H⋯Cl inter-actions within the polar part, as well as slipped π-π inter-actions in the non-polar part, help to establish the three-dimensional network.

Crystal structure of hy-droxy scandium nitrate chloride.

Project description:Each Sc3+ ion in the title salt, di-μ-hydroxido-bis-[tri-aqua-(nitrato-κ2 O,O')scandium(III)] dichloride, [Sc2(NO3)2(OH)2(H2O)6]Cl2, is coordinated by a nitrate anion, two hydroxide ions and three water mol-ecules to generate a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal ScO7 coordination polyhedron. The complete {[(NO3)(μ-OH)Sc(H2O)3]2}2+ ion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The nitrate anion binds in a bidentate fashion whereas the hydroxide ions are bridged between two Sc centers. Two charge-balancing Cl- ions are located in the outer sphere. In the extended structure, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds connect the components into a three-dimensional network.

Synthesis and reactivity of a tris(carbene) zinc chloride complex.

Project description:The [PhB(tBuIm)3]1- ligand has gained increased attention since it was first reported in 2006 due to its ability to stabilize highly reactive first row transition metal complexes. In this work, we investigate the coordination chemistry of this ligand with redox-inert zinc to understand how a zinc metal center behaves in such a strong coordinating environment. The PhB(tBuIm)3ZnCl (1) complex can be formed via deprotonation of [PhB(tBuIm)3][OTf]2 followed by the addition of ZnCl2. Salt metathesis reaction with nucleophilic n-BuLi yields the highly carbon-rich zinc coordination complex PhB(tBuIm)3ZnBu (2) with three carbene atom donors and one carbanion donor. In contrast, reaction of complex 1 with a less nucleophilic polysulfide reagent, [K.18-C-6]2[S4], leads to the formation of a tetrahedral zinc tetrasulfido complex via protonation of one carbene donor to form PhB(tBuIm)2(tBuImH)Zn(κ2-S4) (3).

Crystal structure of a host-guest complex between mephedrone hydro-chloride and a tetra-phospho-nate cavitand.

Project description:A new supra-molecular complex (I) between the tetra-phospho-nate cavitand Tiiii[C3H7,CH3,C6H5] [systematic name: 2,8,14,20-tetra-propyl-5,11,17,23-tetra-methyl-6,10:12,16:18,22:24,4-tetra-kis-(phenyl-phospho-nato-O,O')resorcin[4]arene] and mephedrone hydro-choride {C11H16NO+·Cl-; systematic name: meth-yl[1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl]aza-nium chloride} has been obtained and characterized both in solution and in the solid state. The complex of general formula (C11H16NO)@Tiiii[C3H7,CH3,C6H5]Cl·CH3OH or C11H16NO+·Cl-·C68H68O12P4·CH3OH, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with one lattice methanol mol-ecule per cavitand, disordered over two positions with occupancy factors of 0.665?(6) and 0.335?(6). The mephedrone guest inter-acts with the P=O groups at the upper rim of the cavitand through two charge-assisted N-H?O hydrogen bonds, while the methyl group directly bound to the amino moiety is stabilized inside the ? basic cavity via cation?? inter-actions. The chloride counter-anion is located between the alkyl legs of the cavitand, forming C-H?Cl inter-actions with the aromatic and methyl-enic H atoms of the lower rim. The chloride anion is also responsible for the formation of a supra-molecular chain along the b-axis direction through C-H?Cl inter-actions involving the phenyl substituent of one phospho-nate group. C-H?O and C-H?? inter-actions between the guest and adjacent cavitands contribute to the formation of the crystal structure.
