In connection with a research program involving the synthesis, structure determination, reactivity and ability to coordinate to metal centres of chiral bisphosphine ligands, we have synthesized and structurally characterized, by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, the title compound {systematic name: (S,S)-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[(2-methylphenyl)phenylphosphane], abbreviated aso-tolyl-DiPAMP}, C28H28P2. So far, neither the free bisphosphine (DiPAMP) nor analogues that incorporate the ethylenebisphosphine frame have had their crystal structures reported. The investigated compound forms crystals which are isostructural with the bisphosphine dioxide analogue [Kinget al.(2007).Acta Cryst.E63, o3278], despite the involvement of the dioxide in C—H...O(=P) hydrogen bonds and the lack of similar hydrogen bonds in the investigated crystal structure. In both molecules, the P—C—C—P chain is in atransconformation, extended further at both ends by one of the two P—Cipsobonds. The planes of the phenyl ando-tolyl rings attached to the same P atom are nearly perpendicular to one another. Both crystal structures are mainly stabilized by dispersive interactions.

Lattice Resolution

The use of high temperature special ceramics which are usually complex materials based on oxides, nitrides, carbides and borides of silicon and aluminum, is critically dependent on their thermomechanical and other physical properties. The investigations of the phase diagrams, crystal structures and microstructural features are essential for better understanding of the macro-properties. Phase diagrams and crystal structures have been studied mainly by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has contributed to this field to a very limited extent; it has been used more extensively in the study of microstructure, phase transformations and lattice defects. Often only TEM can give solutions to numerous problems in the above fields, since the various phases exist in extremely fine grains and subgrain structures; single crystals of appreciable size are often not available. Examples with some of our experimental results from two multicomponent systems are presented here. The standard ion thinning technique was used for the preparation of thin foil samples, which were then investigated with JEOL 200A and Siemens ELMISKOP 102 (for the lattice resolution work) electron microscopes.

And Function

IntroductionAfter a long period of anticipation,1 the last two years have witnessed the first high-resolution x-ray structures of fragments from fibrinogen and fibrin.2-7 The results confirmed many aspects of fibrinogen structure and function that had previously been inferred from electron microscopy and biochemistry and revealed some unexpected features. Several matters have remained stubbornly unsettled, however, and much more work remains to be done. Here, we review several of the most significant findings that have accompanied the new x-ray structures and discuss some of the problems of the fibrinogen-fibrin conversion that remain unresolved. * Abbreviations: GPR—Gly-Pro-Arg-derivatives; GPRPam—Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro-amide; GHRPam—Gly-His-Arg-Pro-amide

<p>The sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) and its headgroup, the sulfosugar sulfoquinovose (SQ), are estimated to harbour up to half of all organosulfur in the biosphere. SQ is liberated from SQDG and related glycosides by the action of sulfoquinovosidases (SQases). We report a 10-step synthesis of SQDG that we apply to the preparation of saturated and unsaturated lipoforms. We also report an expeditious synthesis of SQ and (<sup>13</sup>C<sub>6</sub>)SQ, and X-ray crystal structures of sodium and potassium salts of SQ. Finally, we report the synthesis of a fluorogenic SQase substrate, methylumbelliferyl a-D-sulfoquinovoside, and examination of its cleavage kinetics by two recombinant SQases.</p>
