Crystal structure and characterization of a co-product in the syntheses of a Schiff base give evidence of its zwitterionic nature in the solid state

Abstract: During the syntheses of the Schiff base 2-methoxy-6-{[(tiophen-2-methyl)imino]methylphenol (o-HVATPNH2), a co-´product was isolated and characterized. The crystal structure of this molecule, 4,10-dimethoxy-13-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-6,12-dihydro-6,12-epiminodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocane, namely (o-VA)2TPNH2 for short, was determined by X-ray...

A New Supramolecular Assembly Obtained by Reaction Between Thiosaccharin and Pyridine

Abstract: The crystal structure of pyridinium thiosaccharinate thiosaccharin, [HNC5H5]+ [(tsac)(Htsac)]− (Htsac = C7H5NO2S2, the thiosaccharin molecule), was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both, the thiosaccharinate anion, the corresponding neutral molecule and the pyridinium cation are nearly planar and arranged in the solid state in an almost parallel fashion, hence giving rise to a layered supramolecular structure. The anion shows small but significant modifications in the bonding of the thioamide group as compared with the neutral molecule. The crystal is further stabilized by an extensive H-bonding network. The FTIR spectrum of the compound is briefly commented.

Synthesis and Structure of 4-Chloro-2-{[5-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenol and Its Metal Complexes

Abstract: The present study is devoted to the synthesis of 4-chloro-2-{[5-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenol and its transition metal complexes Synthesis of the ligand has been achieved by the condensation reaction of N,N-diethylsalicylaldehyde with 4-chloro-2-aminophenol in acidic medium Metals complexes of the ligand with different transition metal ions [M2+= Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pd(II)] have been accumulated in alcoholic media and characterized by spectroscopic methods UV-Vis analysis of the complexes indicates the ligand coordination to the metal ions via both OH groups and the azomethine nitrogen atom, acting as a tridentate ligand Anticancer tests of selected complexes demonstrate moderate in vitro activity of Cu(II) complex against HeLa cell line

A pyrazine bis-adduct of a binuclear rhodium(II) carboxylate containing 3,4,5-triethoxybenzoate as the equatorial ligand.

Abstract: The title compound, tetrakis(μ-3,4,5-triethoxy­benzoato-κ2O:O′)­bis­[(pyrazine-κN)­rhodium(II)](Rh—Rh), [Rh2(C13H17O5)4(C4H4N2)2], crystallizes on an inversion centre in the triclinic space group P \overline 1. The equatorial carboxyl­ate ligands bridge the two RhII atoms, giving a binuclear lantern-like structure. The pyrazine mol­ecules occupy the two axial coordination sites. The phenyl rings are tilted by ca 10° with respect to the attached carboxyl­ate groups. The pyrazine planes have a torsion angle of ca 19° around the Rh—N bond with respect to the plane of the nearer carboxyl­ate group and are not coplanar with the Rh—Rh bond.

Methods in Enzymology.

Abstract: I read this book the same weekend that the Packers took on the Rams, and the experience of the latter event, obviously, colored my judgment. Although I abhor anything that smacks of being a handbook (like, \"How to Earn a Merit Badge in Neurosurgery\") because too many volumes in biomedical science already evince a boyscout-like approach, I must confess that parts of this volume are fast, scholarly, and significant, with certain reservations. I like parts of this well-illustrated book because Dr. Sj6strand, without so stating, develops certain subjects on technique in relation to the acquisition of judgment and sophistication. And this is important! So, given that the author (like all of us) is somewhat deficient in some areas, and biased in others, the book is still valuable if the uninitiated reader swallows it in a general fashion, realizing full well that what will be required from the reader is a modulation to fit his vision, propreception, adaptation and response, and the kind of problem he is undertaking. A major deficiency of this book is revealed by comparison of its use of physics and of chemistry to provide understanding and background for the application of high resolution electron microscopy to problems in biology. Since the volume is keyed to high resolution electron microscopy, which is a sophisticated form of structural analysis, but really morphology in a modern guise, the physical and mechanical background of The instrument and its ancillary tools are simply and well presented. The potential use of chemical or cytochemical information as it relates to biological fine structure , however, is quite deficient. I wonder when even sophisticated morphol-ogists will consider fixation a reaction and not a technique; only then will the fundamentals become self-evident and predictable and this sine qua flon will become less mystical. Staining reactions (the most inadequate chapter) ought to be something more than a technique to selectively enhance contrast of morphological elements; it ought to give the structural addresses of some of the chemical residents of cell components. Is it pertinent that auto-radiography gets singled out for more complete coverage than other significant aspects of cytochemistry by a high resolution microscopist, when it has a built-in minimal error of 1,000 A in standard practice? I don't mean to blind-side (in strict football terminology) Dr. Sj6strand's efforts for what is \"routinely used in our laboratory\"; what is done is usually well done. It's just that …

Ab initio calculation of vibrational absorption and circular dichroism spectra using density functional force fields

Abstract: : The unpolarized absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the fundamental vibrational transitions of the chiral molecule, 4-methyl-2-oxetanone, are calculated ab initio. Harmonic force fields are obtained using Density Functional Theory (DFT), MP2, and SCF methodologies and a 5S4P2D/3S2P (TZ2P) basis set. DFT calculations use the Local Spin Density Approximation (LSDA), BLYP, and Becke3LYP (B3LYP) density functionals. Mid-IR spectra predicted using LSDA, BLYP, and B3LYP force fields are of significantly different quality, the B3LYP force field yielding spectra in clearly superior, and overall excellent, agreement with experiment. The MP2 force field yields spectra in slightly worse agreement with experiment than the B3LYP force field. The SCF force field yields spectra in poor agreement with experiment.The basis set dependence of B3LYP force fields is also explored: the 6-31G* and TZ2P basis sets give very similar results while the 3-21G basis set yields spectra in substantially worse agreements with experiment. jg
