Abstract A novel phosphovanadate layered structure intercalated by 4,4,-bipyridinium cations, (C10H10N2)[(VO2)4(PO4)2], was synthesised under hydrothermal conditions and its crystal structure determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The anionic [(VO2)4(PO4)2]n2n, perforated layers are strongly hydrogen bonded to the interlayer 4,4,-bipyridinium cations and are assembled by an unprecedented secondary tetrametallic VV building unit constructed from a distorted cubane-like {V4O4} cluster. The compound was further characterised by IR, Raman, 1H, 1H- 13C, 31P and 51V MAS NMR spectroscopy, and by thermal and elemental analysis. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Petr Kolenko
The structure of the extracellular domain of human CD69 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure refined to 1.37,Å resolution provides further details of the overall structure and the asymmetric interface between the monomers in the native dimer. The protein was crystallized using di[poly(ethylene glycol)] adipate, which also served as a cryoprotectant. This is the first report of a crystal structure determined using crystals grown with this polymer. [source]


Alkali Metal (Li+,Cs+) Salts with Hexafluorochromate(V), Hexafluorochromate(IV), Pentafluorochromate(IV), and Undecafluorodichromate(IV) Anions

Abstract The compounds ACrF6 (A = Li,Cs) were prepared by photochemical reactions of AF/CrF3 mixtures in anhydrous HF with elemental F2 at ambient temperature. The crystal structures of compounds ACrF6 (A = K,Cs) are analogous to that of KOsF6, and NaCrF6 exhibits polymorphism. The trigonal phase (II) can be classified to have the well-known LiSbF6 type of structure, while the crystal structure of the orthorhombic modification (I) appears to be a new structure-type. Thermal decomposition of the ACrF6 salts produce ACrF5(A = Rb, Cs), ACrF5/A2CrF6 (A = K), or A2CrF6 (A = Li, Na). These compounds undergo partial solvolysis in anhydrous HF with precipitation of CrF4. From the remaining solutions of the [CrF6]2, anions and dissolved AF (A = Li,Cs), single crystals of ACrF5 (A = K,Cs), A2CrF6·2HF (A = Na, K), A2CrF6·4HF (A = Rb, Cs), Li2CrF6, and K3Cr2F11·2HF were grown, and their crystal structures determined. The main structural feature of the ACrF5 compounds is the infinite zig-zag [CrF5]nn, chain of distorted [CrF6] octahedra joined by cis vertices. The crystal structures of A2CrF6·2HF (A = Na, K) and A2CrF6·4HF (A = Rb, Cs) consist of distorted [CrF6]2, octahedra involved in moderate to strong hydrogen bonding with HF molecules, while two A+ cations compensate the negative charge of each octahedron. In Na2CrF6·2HF, two neighboring HF molecules are involved in moderate to strong hydrogen bonding with each other. (HF)2 dimers with a parallelogram structure are formed. The mutual interactions in the crystal structure of K2CrF6·2HF differ from those found in Na2CrF6·2HF. In the former, each HF molecule interacts with the [CrF6]2, anion and three K+ cations. A2CrF6·4HF compounds of Rb and Cs are isostructural. Their structures consist of A+ cations and [CrF6]2, anions involved in hydrogen bonding with two sets of HF molecules in the trans position. The crystal structure of K3Cr2F11·2HF reveals a rare case of the [M2F11]3, anion. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source]


Rare Earth Benzotriazolates: Coordination Polymers Incorporating Decomposition Products from Ammonia to 1,2-Diaminobenzene in,1[Ln(Btz)3(BtzH)] (Ln = Ce, Pr), ,1[Ln(Btz)3{Ph(NH2)2}] (Ln = Nd, Tb, Yb), and ,1[Ho2(Btz)6(BtzH)(NH3)],

Abstract The solvent-free melt reactions of benzotriazole (BtzH, C6H4N2NH) with rare earth metals result in three different types of benzotriazolate coordination polymers. Early 4f metals yield ,1[Ln(Btz)3(BtzH)] [Ln = Ce (1), Pr (2)], from neodymium to ytterbium the type ,1[Ln(Btz)3{Ph(NH2)2}] is observed [Ln = Nd (3), Tb (4), Yb (5)], whereas the late 4f metal Ho gives ,1[Ho2(Btz)6(BtzH)(NH3)] (6). Depending on the reaction conditions and the respective rare earth element, ligand fragments originating from decomposition products are incorporated in the coordination polymers. Compounds 1,3 and 6 were obtained as single crystals and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis, whilst 4 and 5 were obtained as powders. X-ray powder diffraction shows the isotypic character of polymers 3, 4, and 5. The benzotriazolates contain trivalent lanthanide ions with complete nitrogen coordination. Decomposition of the ligand accompanies the formation of the coordination polymers. X-ray analysis was combined with thermal analysis and mass spectrometry to investigate the influence of reaction temperatures on ligand decomposition. Ln-benzotriazolates exhibit aspects of materials science such as luminescence {5D4,7FJ, J = 4,6 for ,1[Tb(Btz)3{Ph(NH2)2}] (4)} without quenching by concentration. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Structural systematics of 4,4,-disubstituted benzenesulfonamidobenzenes.

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION B, Issue 4 2007

One hundred 4,4,-disubstituted benzenesulfonamidobenzenes, X,C6H5,SO2,NH,C6H5,Y, where X, Y = NO2, CN, CF3, I, Br, Cl, F, H, Me, OMe, have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined. The resulting set of 133 structures, which includes polymorphic forms, is used to make a comparative study of the molecular packing and the nature of the intermolecular interactions, including the formation of hydrogen-bonding motifs and the influence of the two substituents X and Y on these features. Nine distinct supramolecular connectivity motifs of hydrogen bonding are encountered. There are 74% of all the structures investigated which exhibit one of two motifs based on N,H...O=S interactions, a dimer or a chain. There are three other, infrequent motifs, also employing N,H...O=S links, which exhibit more complexity. Four different chain motifs result from either N,H...O=N, N,H...C[triple-bond]N or N,H...OMe interactions, arising from the presence of a nitro (position Y), nitrile (X or Y) or methoxy (Y) substituent. The program XPac [Gelbrich & Hursthouse (2005). CrystEngComm, 7, 324,336] was used to systematically analyse the packing relationships between crystal structures. Similar discrete (zero-dimensional) and extended (one-dimensional and two-dimensional) structure components, as well as cases of isostructurality were identified. A hierarchy for the classification of the 56 distinct structure types of this set is presented. The most common type, a series of 22 isostructures containing the simple centrosymmetric N,H...O=S-bonded dimer, is discussed in detail. [source]


Supramolecular aggregation in 4,4,-bipyridin-1,1,-ium dichloride, 4,4,-bipyridin-1,1,-ium dinitrate and 4,4,-bipyridin-1-ium bromide

4,4,-Bipyridin-1,1,-ium dichloride [C10H10Cl2N2 (I)] and 4,4,-bipyridin-1,1,-ium dinitrate [C10H10N4O6 (II)] have been prepared and the crystal structures determined at 90.0,(2),K. Molecules of (I) are linked by two chlorine-bridged, three-centered N,H,Cl hydrogen bonds into chains along the b axis. The chains are coupled by weak C,H,Cl interactions into a molecular ladder along the c direction. In (II) each nitrate is coordinated to four bipyridinium ions through the interplay of the N,H,O and C,H,O contacts, resulting in a three-dimensional zigzag sheet on the ab plane. The sheets stack along the c axis. In 4,4,-bipyridin-1-ium bromide monohydrate [C10H9N2+·Br,·H2O (III)] the bipyridinium ions are linked by three-center N,H,N, hydrogen bonds in a head-to-tail fashion to form chains along the b axis. The chains are linked by C,H,Br and C,H,OH2 into a three-dimensional framework. [source]


Three solvates of a bis-mesoionic fluorescent yellow pigment

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 7 2009
Jürgen Brüning
p -Phenylenebis(2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyrido[1,2- a]pyrimidin-5-ium-4-olate), C34H22N4O4, is a bis-mesoionic yellow pigment that shows fluorescence in the solid state. During a polymorph screening, single crystals of three solvates were grown and their crystal structures determined. Solvent-free crystals were not obtained. A solvate with N -methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and propan-2-ol, C34H22N4O4·2C5H9NO·C3H8O, (Ia), and an NMP trisolvate, C34H22N4O4·3C5H9NO, (Ib), crystallize with pigment molecules on inversion centres. The NMP/propan-2-ol mixed solvate (Ia) forms O,H...O hydrogen bonds between the different solvent molecules. In both structures, at least one of the solvent molecules is disordered. A third solvate structure, C34H22N4O4·0.5C5H9NO·C4H10O, (Ic), was obtained by crystallization from NMP and butan-1-ol. In this case, there are two symmetry-independent pigment molecules, both situated on inversion centres. The solvent molecules are heavily disordered and their contribution to the scattering was suppressed. This solvate displays a channel structure, whereas the other two solvates form layer structures.
