Crystal structure of rubidium peroxide ammonia disolvate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, Rb2O2·2NH3, has been obtained as a reaction product of rubidium metal dissolved in liquid ammonia and glucuronic acid. As a result of the low-temperature crystallization, a disolvate was formed. To our knowledge, only one other solvate of an alkali metal peroxide is known: Na2O2·8H2O has been reported by Grehl et al. [Acta Cryst. (1995), C51, 1038-1040]. We determined the peroxide bond length to be 1.530?(11)?Å, which is in accordance with the length reported by Bremm & Jansen [Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. (1992), 610, 64-66]. One of the ammonia solvate molecules is disordered relative to a mirror plane, with 0.5 occupancy for the corresponding nitrogen atom.

Crystal structure of rubidium methyl-diazo-tate.

Project description:The title compound, Rb+·H3CN2O-, has been crystallized in liquid ammonia as a reaction product of the reductive ammonolysis of the natural compound streptozocin. Elemental rubidium was used as reduction agent as it is soluble in liquid ammonia, forming a blue solution. Reductive bond cleavage in biogenic materials under kinetically controlled conditions offers a new approach to gain access to sustainably produced raw materials. The anion is nearly planar [dihedral angle O-N-N-C = -0.4?(2)°]. The Rb+ cation has a coordination number of seven, and coordinates to five anions. One anion is bound via both its N atoms, one by both O and N, two anions are bound by only their O atoms, and the last is bound via the N atom adjacent to the methyl group. The diazo-tate anions are bridged by cations and do not exhibit any direct contacts with each other. The cations form corrugated layers that propagate in the (-101) plane.

Crystal Structure of an Ammonia-Permeable Aquaporin.

Project description:Aquaporins of the TIP subfamily (Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins) have been suggested to facilitate permeation of water and ammonia across the vacuolar membrane of plants, allowing the vacuole to efficiently sequester ammonium ions and counteract cytosolic fluctuations of ammonia. Here, we report the structure determined at 1.18 Å resolution from twinned crystals of Arabidopsis thaliana aquaporin AtTIP2;1 and confirm water and ammonia permeability of the purified protein reconstituted in proteoliposomes as further substantiated by molecular dynamics simulations. The structure of AtTIP2;1 reveals an extended selectivity filter with the conserved arginine of the filter adopting a unique unpredicted position. The relatively wide pore and the polar nature of the selectivity filter clarify the ammonia permeability. By mutational studies, we show that the identified determinants in the extended selectivity filter region are sufficient to convert a strictly water-specific human aquaporin into an AtTIP2;1-like ammonia channel. A flexible histidine and a novel water-filled side pore are speculated to deprotonate ammonium ions, thereby possibly increasing permeation of ammonia. The molecular understanding of how aquaporins facilitate ammonia flux across membranes could potentially be used to modulate ammonia losses over the plasma membrane to the atmosphere, e.g., during photorespiration, and thereby to modify the nitrogen use efficiency of plants.

Crystal structure of cis-tetra-aqua-dichlorido-cobalt(II) sulfolane disolvate.

Project description:In the title compound, [CoCl2(H2O)4]·2C4H8SO2, the Co(II) cation is located on the twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by four water mol-ecules and two adjacent chloride ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. The cisoid angles are in the range 83.27?(5)-99.66?(2)°. The three transoid angles deviate significantly from the ideal linear angle. The crystal packing can be described as a linear arrangement of complex units along c formed by bifurcated O-H?Cl hydrogen bonds between two water mol-ecules from one complex unit towards one chloride ligand of the neighbouring complex. Two solvent mol-ecules per complex are attached to this infinite chain via O-H?O hydrogen bonds in which water mol-ecules act as the hydrogen-bond donor and sulfolane O atoms as the hydrogen-bond acceptor sites.

Tris[(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxacyclo-octa-deca-ne)rubidium] heptaantimonide-ammonia (1/4).

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, [Rb(C(12)H(24)O(6))](3)[Sb(7)]·4NH(3), fills the gap between the already known Zintl anion ammoniates {[Cs(18-crown-6)](3)Sb(7)}(2)·9NH(3) [Wiesler (2007 ▶). Dissertation, Universität Regensburg, Germany] and [K(18-crown-6)](3)Sb(7)·4NH(3) [Hanauer (2007 ▶). Dissertation, Universität Regensburg, Germany]. As in the two known compounds, the anti-mony cage anion in this crystal structure is coordinated by three alkali cations. The coordination spheres of each of the cations are saturated by 18-crown-6 mol-ecules. The ammonia mol-ecules of crystallization are situated between the crown ethers. The neutral, mol-ecular [Rb(18-crown-6)](3)Sb(7) units are inter-connected by multiple dipole-dipole interactions between ammonia and 18-crown-6.

?-Hexa-thio-metadiphosphato-bis-[(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-decane-?(6) O)rubidium] aceto-nitrile disolvate.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Rb2(P2S6)(C12H24O6)2]·2CH3CN, contains one half of an [Rb(18-crown-6)2]2[P2S6] unit and one aceto-nitrile solvent mol-ecule. The [Rb(18-crown-6)]2[P2S6] unit is completed by inversion symmetry. Its Rb(+) ion is situated near the centre of the macrocyclic cavity, but is displaced by 0.8972?(1)?Å from the O atoms of the crown in the direction of the [P2S6](2-) moiety. The overall coordination number of the cation is eight, defined by the six crown ether O atoms and by two terminal S atoms of the [P2S6](2-) anion. The hexa-thio-metadiphosphate anion is built up from two tetra-hedral PS4 units joined together by a common edge. The crystal structure is characterized by alternating layers of [Rb(18-crown-6)]2[P2S6] and aceto-nitrile solvent mol-ecules stacked along [010].

Crystal structure of meso-tetra-kis-(4-nitro-phen-yl)porphyrin nitro-benzene disolvate.

Project description:The porphyrin core of the title centrosymmetric compound, C44H26N8O8·2C6H5NO2, is approximately planar, the maximum deviation being 0.069?(3)?Å. The planes of the benzene rings of the nitro-phenyl substituents are almost perpendicular to the porphyrin mean plane, making dihedral angles of 73.89?(9) and 89.24?(9)°. The two pyrrole ring H atoms are equally disordered over the four pyrrole ring N atoms. In the crystal, weak C-H?O and C-H?N hydrogen bonds link the porphyrin mol-ecules into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. The nitro-benzene solvent mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds into supra-molecular chains propagating along the a-axis direction.

Crystal structure of cis-anti-cis-di-cyclo-hexane-18-crown-6 aceto-nitrile disolvate.

Project description:The title compound (systematic name: cis-anti-cis-2,5,8,15,18,21-hexa-oxatri-cyclo-[20.4.0.0(9,14)]hexa-cosane aceto-nitrile disolvate), C20H36O6·2CH3CN, crystallizes from an aceto-nitrile solution of di-cyclo-hexane-18-crown-6 on evaporation. The mol-ecule is arranged around a center of symmetry with half the crown ether mol-ecule and one mol-ecule of aceto-nitrile symmetry independent. All O-C-C-O torsion angles are gauche while all C-O-C-C angles are trans. The sequence of torsion angles is [(tg(+)t)(tg(-)t)]3; the geometry of oxygen atoms is close to pseudo-D 3d with three atoms below and three atoms above the mean plane, with an average deviation of ±0.16 (1) Å from the mean plane. This geometry is identical to that observed in metal ion complexes of di-cyclo-hexane-18-crown-6 but differs significantly from the conformation of a free unsolvated mol-ecule. Each aceto-nitrile mol-ecule connects to a crown ether mol-ecule via two of its methyl group H atoms (C-H⋯O). Weaker inter-actions exist between the third H atom of the aceto-nitrile methyl group and an O atom of a neighbouring crown ether mol-ecule (C-H⋯O); and between the N atom of the aceto-nitrile mol-ecule and a H atom of another neighbouring crown ether mol-ecule. All these inter-molecular inter-actions create a three-dimensional network stabilizing the disolvate.

Crystal structure of poly[[di-aqua-tetra-μ2-cyanido-iron(II)platinum(II)] acetone disolvate].

Project description:In the title polymeric complex, {[FePt(CN)4(H2O)2]·2C3H6O} n , the FeII cation has an octa-hedral [FeN4O2] geometry being coordinated by two water mol-ecules and four cyanide anions. The Pt cation is located on an inversion centre and has a square-planar coordination environment formed by four cyanide groups. The tetra-cyano-platinate anions bridge the FeII cations to form infinite two-dimensional layers that propagate in the bc plane. Two guest mol-ecules of acetone per FeII are located between the layers. These guest acetone mol-ecules inter-act with the coordinated water mol-ecules by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Crystal structure of the EutL shell protein of the ethanolamine ammonia lyase microcompartment.

Project description:Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are specialized organelles that use proteinaceous membranes to confine chemical reaction spaces. The ethanolamine ammonialyase microcompartment of Escherichia coli represents such a class of cytosolic organelles that enables bacteria to survive on small organic molecules such as ethanolamine as the sole source for carbon and nitrogen. We present here the crystal structure of the shell protein EutL at 2.2-A resolution. With 219 residues, it is the largest representative of this BMC's shell proteins. In the crystal, EutL forms a trimer that exhibits a hexagonally shaped tile structure. The tiles arrange into a tightly packed 2D array that is likely to resemble the proteinaceous membrane of the intact BMC. In contrast to other BMC shell proteins, which have only 1 pore per tile, EutL exhibits 3 pores per tile, thereby significantly increasing the overall porosity of this protein membrane. Each of the individual pores is lined with negatively charged residues and aromatic residues that are proposed to facilitate passive transport of specific solutes. The characteristic shape of the hexagonal tile, which is also found in the microcompartments of carbon-fixating bacteria, may present an inherent and fundamental building unit that may provide a general explanation for the formation of differently sized microcompartments.

Crystal structure of (E,E)-2',4'-di-hydroxy-aceto-phenone azine di-methyl-formamide disolvate.

Project description:In the title compound {systematic name: 4,4'-[1,1'-(hydrazinediyl-idene)bis-(ethan-1-yl-1-yl-idene)]bis-(benzene-1,3-diol)}, C16H16N2O4·2C3H7NO, the (E,E)-2',4'-di-hydroxy-aceto-phenone azine mol-ecule is centrosymmetric, the mid-point of the N-N bond being located on an inversion centre. All the non-H atoms of the azine mol-ecule are approximately coplanar, the maximum deviation being 0.017?(2)?Å. An intra-molecular O-H?N hydrogen bond occurs between the azine N atom and the hy-droxy group. In the crystal, azine and di-methyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules are linked by O-H?O hydrogen bonds.
