The crystal structure of Mo₂O₅[SC₆H₄NHCH₂C₅H₄N]₂(C₃N₇NO)₃ is reported and seen to consist of a single oxo-bridged species with each Mo atom bonded to cis dioxo groups and the nitrogen atoms and thiolate group of the tridentate ligand. ⁹⁵Mo NMR spectra of this and three related complexes are presented and attempts made to interpret them in terms of their crystal structures.     

Synthesis, 95Mo NMR spectra and x-ray crystal structure of MoO2(C14H11N2O)2(C2H5H)1 and Mo2O5(C14H11N2O)2(C2H5OH)1(H2O)1

The crystal structures and ⁹⁵Mo NMR spectra of two complexes formed between 2-α-hydroxybenzyl- benzimidazole (C₆H₅·CHOH·C₇H₅N₂=HOBB), as its sodium salt, and MoO₂Cl₂ are reported. [MoO₂- (OBB)₂]·EtOH (OBB=deprotonated HOBB) crystallizes in space group P2₁/n, with a=12.8441(7), b=15.917(3), c=13.314(2) Å, β=97.163(8)° and Z =4. The structure was determined from 3096 observed reflections and refined to a final R value of 0.030. The complex is a six coordinate cis-dioxo species, the ⁹⁵Mo spectrum of which shows a single sharp peak at 56 ppm in dimethylformamide (DMF). The second complex, [Mo₂O₅(OBB)₂]·EtOH·H₂O, crystallizes in space group Pbca, with a=22.482(4), b=16.442(3), c=18.407(3) Å and Z=8. The structure was determined from 2936 observed reflections and refined to a final R value of 0.061. The complex is a binuclear doubly bridged species in which one metal atom is six coordinate while the other is five coordinate. Its ⁹⁵Mo NMR spectrum in DMF shows a sharp peak at 124 ppm and a second broader much weaker peak at 51 ppm.     

The structure of a dinuclear silver(I) complex: Ag2[S2C2(CN)2] [P(C6H5)3]4

The crystal structure of the dimeric Ag maleonitriledithiolate complex, Ag₂[S₂C₂(CN)₂] [P(C₆- H₅)₃]₄ (1), has been performed. Complex 1 crystallizes in the space group P2₁/c with a = 12.2898(77), b = 23.8325(91), c = 23.1790(118) Å, β = 101.315(43)° and Z = 4. Refinement using 3253 reflections with F_o²>3σ(F_o²) yielded R = 0.0662, R_w= 0.0669. The most interesting aspect of the structure is the strong bridging interaction of the chelating maleonitriledithiolate ligand with the second Ag center, where a Ag-S distance of 2.478 Å is observed. The residual bonding capability of the sulfur atoms in the chelating anion [Ag(S₂C₂(CN)₂)(PPh₃)₂]⁻ for [Ag(PPh₃)₂]⁺ is demonstrated.     

A trifluoromethyl substituted organoimido derivative of the hexametalate cluster: synthesis, crystal structure and bioactivity of [Mo6O17(NAr)2]2- (Ar=o-CF3C6H4)

The hexamolybdate cluster has been functionalized with fluorine-containing aromatic amine by the DCC (N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) dehydrating protocol and a novel bifunctionalized arylimido derivative of hexamolybdate bearing the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group, (Bu(4)N)(2)[Mo(6)O(17)(NAr)(2)] (Ar=o-CF(3)C(6)H(4)), has been prepared. Complete assignments were achieved for the title compound by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, UV/visible and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The preliminary agricultural biological activity test indicated that it has some herbicidal and insecticidal activities.     

95Mo NMR spectra of MoO2(C8H7N2S)2 and X-ray crystal structure of Mo2O4(C8H7N2S)2(C3H7NO)2

The facile preparation of MoO₂(C₈H₇N₂S)₂ is given and its complex behaviour in dimethylformamide, as revealed by ⁹⁵Mo NMR spectroscopy, discussed. The X-ray crystal structure of one of the products obtained from this dimethylformamide solution is briefly described. This structure indicates that the Mo(VI) has been reduced to Mo(V) and is based on the [Mo₂O₄]²⁺ core.     

Water structure in [Phe4 Val6] antamanide X 12H2O crystallized from dioxane

Crystals of [Phe4 Val6] antamanide (cyclic [ValProProPhePhe]2) grown from dioxane/H2O, with space group P21212 and cell parameters a = 15.099(4), b = 22.008(5) and c = 11.024(3) A, are almost identical to crystals grown from H2O/acetone, the structure of which was determined a number of years ago. Per peptide molecule there are the equivalent of 12 water molecules occupying 16 sites in both crystals; however, in the new investigation a number of water molecules present at one-half occupancy have been found in different positions than in the earlier analysis. The interpretation of the hydrogen bonding between peptide/water and between water/water is much more satisfactory. Pentagonal water assemblies are present in the solvent channel. There is a distinct indication of the occurrence of a bifurcated bond between two water molecules, as well as the presence of three-center hydrogen bonds joining three water molecules. This may be the first experimental example of a bifurcated bond between two water molecules.     

Synthesis of [11-2H2], [8-2H2], [7-2H2], [6-2H2], [5-2H2], [4-2H2] and [3-2H2] cis-9-octadecenoates

Deuterated oleates have been synthesized by semihydrogenation of acetylenic intermediates. [11-²H₂]Oleate was prepared by two-carbon chain extension of the C₁₆ alcohol obtained from [1-²H₂]octyl bromide and 7-octyn-1-ol. [8-²H₂] and [7-²H₂]oleates were both prepared from dimethyl suberate, tetradeutero intermediate C₁₆ alcohols were synthesized from [1,8-²H₄] and [2,7-²H₄]octane diols by monobromination, conversion to deuterated 9-decyn-1-ols and reaction with octyl bromide. Oxidation gave [8-²H₂]-9-octadecynoate and [2,7-²H₂]-9-octadecynoate, after semihydrogenation of the latter, deuterons at C-2 were removed by exchange with aqueous alkali. [6-²H₂] and [5-²H₂]oleates were obtained from methyl 5-tetradecynoate, semihydrogenation, deuterium exchange at C-2 and two malonate extensions gave [6-²H₂]oleate; reduction with lithium aluminum deuteride, two malonate extensions and semihydrogenation gave the [5-²H₂] ester. [4-²H₂] and [3-²H₂]oleates were both obtained from methyl 7-cis-hexadecenoate, exchange of the α protons and chain extension gave the [4-²H₂] ester and reduction with lithium aluminum deuteride and chain extension gave the [3-²H₂] ester.     

Stereospecific formation of alpha-hydroxycarboxylato oxo peroxo complexes of vanadium(V). Crystal structure of (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O

An overview of structurally characterized alpha-hydroxycarboxylatodioxo- and alpha-hydroxycarboxylatooxoperoxovanadates(V) is presented and the geometric parameters of the V2O2 bridging core are discussed. The first case of a stereospecific formation of oxoperoxovanadates(V) is reported: The crystal structures of the isomeric compounds (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O (lact = C3H4O3(2-), the anion of the lactic acid) differ mainly in the arrangement of the V2O2 core and in mutual orientation of the V=O bonds. The complexes with achiral ligands adopt the same structural type as the complexes formed from a racemic mixture of a chiral ligand, while the structure obtained using an enantiopure L,L-hydroxycarboxylate is different.     

Mathematical modelling for the generation of L-[3-2H,3-13C]lactic acid isotopomers by erythrocytes exposed to either D-[1-13C]glucose or D-[6-13C]glucose in the presence of2H2O

Cytosolic purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) is a well known, and described enzyme which exists in a variety of organisms, both procaryotic and eucaryotic. More recently this enzyme was found in bovine liver mitochondria. The mitochondrial purine nucleoside phosphorylase was purified 63 fold and has a molecular weight of 48–60 kD. From Lineweaver-Burk plots apparent K_m's of 23M for inosine, 42 M for deoxyinosine, 40 M for phosphate, 2 M for hypoxanthine, and 163 M for ribose-1-phosphate were calculated. Both 8-aminoguanosine (K_i=0.5 M) and araG (K_i=381 M) are inhibitors of the enzyme. The protein's isoelectric point (pI) was calculated at a pH of 4.2. Preliminary immunological work showed no cross-reactivity between epitopes on the mitochondrial protein and those on PNPase from human erythrocytes. The apparent K_m's calculated for the mitochondrial enzyme are,with the exception of that using hypoxanthine, within the range commonly associated with K_m's from the cytosolic species. The mitochondrial enzyme's molecular weight and pI are less than normally described. The enzyme's isolation from mitochondria, together with several unique characteristics, suggest that it is a separate protein from that found in the cytosol.     

Synthesis of [1,2-3H2]cholecalciferol and metabolism of [4-14C,1,2-3H2]- and [4-14C,1-3H]-cholecalciferol in rachitic rats and chicks

[1,2-(3)H(2)]Cholecalciferol has been synthesized with a specific radioactivity of 508mCi/mmol by using tristriphenylphosphinerhodium chloride, the homogeneous hydrogen catalyst. With doses of 125ng (5i.u.) of [4-(14)C,1-(3)H(2)]cholecalciferol the tissue distribution in rachitic rats of cholecalciferol and its metabolites (25-hydroxycholecalciferol and peak P material) was similar to that found in chicken with 500ng doses of the double-labelled vitamin. The only exceptions were rat kidney, with a very high concentration of vitamin D, and rat blood, with a higher proportion of peak P material, containing a substance formed from vitamin D with the loss of hydrogen from C-1. Substance P formed from [4-(14)C,1,2-(3)H(2)]cholecalciferol retained 36% of (3)H, the amount expected from its distribution between C-1 and C-2, the (3)H at C-1 being lost. 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol does not seem to have any specific intracellular localization within the intestine of rachitic chicks. The (3)H-deficient substance P was present in the intestine and bone 1h after a dose of vitamin D and 30min after 25-hydroxycholecalciferol. There was very little 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in intestine at any time-interval, but bone and blood continued to take it up over the 8h experimental period. It is suggested that the intestinal (3)H-deficient substance P originates from outside this tissue. The polar metabolite found in blood and which has retained its (3)H at C-1 is not a precursor of the intestinal (3)H-deficient substance P.     

Bioinorganic study on [Fe(promethazine)2H2O Cl]2+ complex

The coordination chemistry of iron (III) is the environment of an antihistaminic drug, promethazine has been explained to include a low spin, six-coordinate complex [Fe(Prometha)2(H2O) Cl] Cl2. Metaldrug interaction in vitro in aqueous KCl phase was studied polarographically at physiological pH and temperature. On the basis of elemental, magnetic, conductometric, IR, UV-visible, NMR spectroscopic analysis it is concluded that in solid phase two promethazine molecules with their N,N donor sites encompass the metal. Mass spectral study on the complex confirms that one of the three chlorides is involved in the coordination. The respective changes in the antihistaminic activity of the drug as a result of complexation has been determined and a possible mechanism is suggested.     

Structural and stereochemical studies on reactive iridium(III) dihydride complexes of the triphosphine ligand C6H5P[CH2CH2CH2P(C6H11)2]2

The iridium(III) dihydride complexes IrH₂X- (Cyttp) (X = Cl, I) possess a mer-octahedral structure in which the hydrides are cis to each other and the Cyttp ligand is chelated around an edge of the octahedron. The phenyl group on the central phosphorus atom is oriented away from the chloride ligand in the crystal structure, and Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) measurements show that this anti coordination geometry is maintained in solution. Treatment of IrH₂Cl(Cyttp), 1a, with TIBF₄ and CH₃CN results in a mixture of anti and syn diastereomers, whereas CO gives only the syn diastereomer of the type [IrH₂(CH₃CN)(Cyttp)]⁺ and Tl⁺.

Crystal structures and cytotoxicity of isopropylamine Pt(II) complexes: a trinuclear squarato-bridged [Pt3(mu2-C4O4)3(H2NPri)6].3H2O and a mononuclear cis-[Pt(NO3)2(H2NPri)2

Crystals of a novel platinum(II) complex with squarato ligand, [Pt(3)(mu(2)-C(4)O(4))(3)(H(2)NPr(i))(6)].3H(2)O (1) (H(2)NPr(i)=ipa), have been isolated from the aqueous solution of cis-[Pt(H(2)O)(2)(H(2)NPr(i))(2)]SO(4) and barium squarate. Slow evaporation of methanol solution of cis-[Pt(NO(3))(2)(H(2)NPr(i))(2)] (2) resulted in crystallization of nitrato complex. The single crystal X-ray diffraction method was used to determine structures of 1 and 2. Complex 1 crystallizes in a triclinic space group P1 with a=11.17380(10)A, b=14.4535(2)A, c=14.8010(2)A, alpha=86.0901(10) degrees , beta=78.4343(11) degrees , gamma=69.1915(5) degrees , and complex 2 in a monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with a=10.1161(2)A, b=9.9188(2)A, c=13.3766(2)A, beta=102.7360(7) degrees . The X-ray structure analysis revealed that three platinum atoms in 1 are connected with three squarates which adopt bis(unidentate) binding modes. The squarato ligands span relatively long intramolecular Ptcdots, three dots, centeredPt distances (4.8842(3)-5.2699(3)A). A pair of cis positioned isopropylamine ligands completes a square planar coordination sphere of each Pt(II) ion. The square-planar coordination of complex 2 consists of two cis positioned isopropylamine ligands and two nitrato ligands. The results of cytotoxicity assay of trimer 1, monomer 2 and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) performed on human bladder tumor cell line T24 provide evidence that complex 2 is less cytotoxic compared to cisplatin and that the survival of tumor cells after exposure to 1 was minimally reduced.     

High‐Performance Perovskite Solar Cells with Enhanced Environmental Stability Based on a (p‐FC6H4C2H4NH3)2[PbI4] Capping Layer

Supported by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, for the first time, a fluorinated aromatic cation, 2‐(4‐fluorophenyl)ethyl ammonium iodide (FPEAI), is introduced to grow in situ a low dimensional perovskite layer atop 3D perovskite film with excess PbI₂. The resulted (p‐FC₆H₄C₂H₄NH₃)₂[PbI₄] perovskite functions as a protective capping layer to protect the 3D perovskite from moisture. In the meantime, the thin layer facilitates charge transfer at the interfaces, thereby reducing the nonradiative recombination pathways. Laser scanning confocal microscopy unveils visually the distribution of the 2D perovskite layer on top of the 3D perovskite. When employing the 3D–2D perovskite as the absorbing layer in the photovoltaic cells, a high power conversion efficiency of 20.54% is realized. Superior device performance and moisture stability are observed with the modified perovskite over the whole stability test period.     

Synthesis of 4-thia-[6-13C]lysine from [2-13C]glycine: access to site-directed isotopomers of 2-aminoethanol, 2-bromoethylamine and 4-thialysine

4-Thialysine (S-(2-aminoethyl)-l-cysteine) is an analog of lysine. It has been used as an alternative substrate for lysine in enzymatic reactions. Site-directed isotopomers are often needed for elucidation of mechanism of reactions. 4-Thialysine can be synthesized by reacting cysteine with 2-bromoethylamine, an important reagent in chemical-modification rescue (CMR) of proteins. Here, we present the synthesis of 4-thia-[6-¹³C]lysine, one of the isotopomers of 4-thialysine, from commercially available starting material [2-¹³C]glycine via formation of five intermediates including 2-amino[2-¹³C]ethanol and 2-bromo[1-¹³C]ethylamine. The compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Moreover, we discuss that our strategy would provide access to site-directed isotopomers of 2-aminoethanol, 2-bromoethylamine and 4-thialysine. Biological activity of 4-thia-[6-¹³C]lysine was tested in the enzymatic reaction of lysine 5,6-aminomutase.
