L-Valyl-L-phenylalanine has been crystallized as an orthorhombic dihydrate (1) in the shape of needles and as a monoclinic trihydrate (2) with Z = 16 (P21, Z′ = 8) in the shape of thin plates. Peptide molecules in these two structures occur in three basic conformations, termed c 1, c 2A and c 2B. c 2B has not been observed previously for dipeptides. Together with c 1 it forms a model pair for Type I and Type II β-turns in protein structures. The crystal packing of (2) is remarkable in that some of the L-Val side chains are exposed to the solvent region of the crystal rather than being located in a hydrophobic layer. The crystal packing thus offers a unique and detailed view of hydrogen-bond cage formation around the hydrophobic groups by the 24 cocrystallized water molecules. The eight —NH_3^+...−OOC— contacts in the structure are unusually short and the minimum N...O distance of 2.649 (5) Å represents a new extreme limit for this type of hydrogen bond in peptide structures.

A novel 2D nickel(ii) complex (1) has been successfully synthesized using a 2,2′-bipyridyl, polycarboxylsulfonate ligand H4SBTC and Ni2+ ions. Owing to the presence of abundant water molecules, hydrogen bond networks and other protons, 1 and its hybrid membranes demonstrate high proton conductivity.

Small-angle neutron scattering is used to measure the number of bound water molecules associating with three polymers over a wide concentration range. Different fitting workflows are evaluated and recommended depending on the concentration regime.

In the title mononuclear complex, [Co(C9H4N2O4)(H2O)5]·5H2O, the CoIIatom exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry involving an N atom of a 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligand and five water O atoms. A supramolecular network is generated through intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules and the carboxyl O atoms of the organic ligand. An intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is also observed.

The crystal structures of isotypic Sr(OH)Cl ·4 H2O, Sr(OH)Br·4 H2O, and Ba(OH)I·4 H2O are reported. The title compounds crystallize in a hitherto unknown structure type, space group PĪ, Z = 2. The final R values obtained are 0.0261, 0.069, and 0.062, respectively. The coordination of the metal ions is monocapped square antiprismatic with 7 H2O, 1 OH- and 1 halide ion. The halide ions separate metal/water/hydroxide layers. Each of the four crystallographically different water molecules serves as donor for one very strong and one very weak hydrogen bond and, hence, is extremely asymmetrically bound. Owing to this strong distortion, the largest one known so far, the OH stretching vibrations of the H2O molecules are intramolecularly decoupled as shown from vibrational spectra. The enthalpies of dehydration obtained from differential scanning calorimetry are reported.

Abstract 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenylphosphonic acid (H3L1) and the complex [Cu(H2L1)2(H2O)2] were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The polyhedron of the copper atom is an axially elongated square bipyramid with oxygen atoms of phenolic and of monodeprotonated phosphonic groups at the base and oxygen atoms of water molecules at the vertices. The protonation constants of the H3L1 acid and the stability constants of its Cu2+ complexes in water were determined by potentiometric titration. The protonation constants of the acid in water are significantly influenced by the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the methoxy group. The H3L1 acid forms complexes CuL‒ and CuL24‒ with Cu2+ in water.
