The layered structures of graphite and related nanographene molecules play key roles in their physical and electronic functions. However, the stacking modes of negatively curved nanographenes remains unclear, owing to the lack of suitable nanographene molecules. Herein we report the synthesis and one-dimensional supramolecular self-assembly of negatively curved nanographenes without any assembly-assisting substituents. This curved nanographene self-assembles in various organic solvents and acts as an efficient gelator. The formation of nanofibers was confirmed by microscopic measurements, and an unprecedented double-helix assembly by continuous π-π stacking was uncovered by three-dimensional electron crystallography. This work not only reports the discovery of an all-sp<sup>2</sup>-carbon supramolecular π-organogelator with negative curvature, but also demonstrates the power of three-dimensional electron crystallography for the structural determination of submicrometer-sized molecular alignment.

Because membrane proteins are localized in a continuous lipid bilayer in the native environment, the situation of membrane proteins in the two-dimensional (2D) crystals is quite similar to the environment in vivo. Thus, electron crystallography using 2D crystals is one of the suitable techniques for structure determination of membrane proteins at atomic or near-atomic resolution. Here we describe the structures of the two membrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin and aquaporin-1, which were solved by electron crystallography at 2.5 and 4.0 Å resolution, respectively.Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a light-driven proton pump found in Halobacterium salinarium. The atomic model of the protein was first proposed by electron crystallography and we improved the resolution of the structure determination up to 3.0 Å by collecting 366 electron diffraction patterns and 129 images. The resulted map showed not only a bR molecule but also eight surrounding lipids in the asymmetric unit.

Compounds of the type CpRu(PPh3)(L)(SH) [L = PPh3 (2), CO (4)] react with N-alkyl and -arylsulfinyl phthalimides 3a-f to give the chiral complexes CpRu(PPh3)(L)[S-S(O)-R] (L = PPh3, 5a: R = C4H9,5b: R = C12H25,5d: R = C18H37,5e: R = Tol; L = CO, 6a: R = C4H9,6b: R = C12H25,6c: R = C16H33,6d: R = C18H37,6f: R = CH2Ph). With 6a-c diastereoselectivities of 5:2, with 6d 5:1, and with 6f 10:3, respectively, are observed. The compounds 5,6 are characterized by their spectroscopic data; the X-ray structural determination of u-6f shows a sulfur-sulfur bond length of 208,6 (3) pm, the dihedral angle Ru-S(1)-S(2)-C(25) is 170,8°. Extended Hückel calculations give information about the rotational barrier around the S-S(O) axis.

The InSb(110) surface structure has been re-examined using the tensor LEED approach. A refinement of the structure as well as the influence of the Debye temperature on the structure determination is presented.
