AbstractHerein, the first example of a co-crystal system formed by an imidazolium nitrate, a carbene precursor, and copper (II) nitrate, {[Cu(NO3)2(H2O)2]L1(NO3)2} (1) (L1 = 1,1′-dibenzyl-3,3′-butyl-diimidazolium-2,2′-diylidene) is reported. These two building blocks are connected in the solid state through hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional supramolecular network.

Structural characterization of the title compound, C10H15N2 +·PF6 −, shows it to be ionic, with the pyridine rather than the piperidine N atom being protonated and forming hydrogen bonds to the counter-ions, resulting in two independent ion pairs. A number of unusual features are noted, in particular the remarkably close inter-ring hydrogen contacts [1.97 (3)–2.00 (3) Å] and the considerable differences in the pair of cations, in respect of the torsion angles within the piperidine ring involving the bonds to either side of the N atom.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu4Cl6O(C13H9N)4]·CH2Cl2, the core molecular structure consists of a Cu4 tetrahedron with a central interstitial O atom. Each edge of the Cu4 tetrahedron is bridged by a chlorido ligand. Each copper(II) cation is coordinated to the central O atom, two chlorido ligands and one N atom of the 4-phenylethynylpyridine ligand. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions. Furthermore, C—H...π and π–π interactions also connect the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the packing arrangement are from H...H and C...H/H...C interactions.

Single crystals of [2-CH3CH2C6H4NH3]6P6O18⋅4H2O are synthesized in aqueous solution by the interaction of cyclohexaphosphoric acid and 2-ethylaniline. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with P21/c space group the unit cell dimensions are: a=16.220(4) Å, b=10.220(5) Å, c=20.328(4) Å, β=113.24(3)∘, Z=2, and V=3096.5(18) Å3. The atomic arrangement can be described by layers formed by cyclohexaphosphate anions P6O186− and water molecules connected by hydrogen bonds O–H⋯O. These inorganic layers are developed around bc planes at x=1/2 and are interconnected by the H-bonds created by ammonium groups of organic cations. All the hydrogen bonds, the van der Waals contacts and electrostatic interactions between the different entities give rise to a three-dimensional network in the structure and add stability to this compound. The thermal behaviour and the IR spectroscopic studies of this new cyclohexaphosphate are discussed.

During the late phase of the HIV-1 replication cycle, the Gag polyproteins are transported to the plasma membrane (PM) for assembly. Gag targeting and assembly on the PM is dependent on interactions between its matrix (MA) domain and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). Subsequent to Gag assembly, the envelope (Env) protein is recruited to the PM for incorporation into virus particles. Evidence suggests that the incorporation of the Env protein is mediated by interactions between the MA domain of Gag and the cytoplasmic tail of the gp41 subunit of Env (gp41CT), a mechanism that remains to be elucidated. Trimerization of the MA domain of Gag appears to be an obligatory step for this interaction. The interplay between gp41CT, the MA trimer, and the membrane has yet to be determined. Our lab has pioneered methods and approaches to investigate, at the molecular level, how the retroviral MA domains of Gag interact with membranes, a key requirement for understanding the Gag assembly and Env incorporation. Herein, we devised innovative approaches that will enable the structural characterization of the gp41CT–MA–membrane interactions. We employed structural biology (NMR and cryo-electron microscopy, biophysical methods, and biochemical tools to generate a macromolecular picture of how the MA domain of Gag binds to the membrane and how it interacts with gp41CT. To this end, we: (i) determined the three-dimensional structure of HIV-1 gp41CT and characterized its interaction with the membrane, (ii) engineered trimeric constructs of gp41CT and the MA to recapitulate the native and functional states of the proteins, and (iii) utilized membrane nanodisc technology to anchor the MA and gp41CT proteins. Our studies will allow for a detailed structural characterization of the gp41CT–MA–membrane interactions, which will advance our knowledge of HIV-1 Gag assembly and Env incorporation.

The synthesis and the structural characterization of a cyclic hexapeptoid with four methoxyethyl and two propargyl side chains have disclosed the presence of a hydrate crystal form [form (I)] and an anhydrous crystal form [form (II)]. The relative amounts of form (I) and form (II) in the as-purified product were determined by Rietveld refinement and depend on the purification procedures. In crystal form (I), peptoid molecules assemble in a columnar arrangement by means of side-chain-to-backbone C=CH...OC hydrogen bonds. In the anhydrous crystal form (II), cyclopeptoid molecules form ribbons by means of backbone-to-backbone CH2...OC hydrogen bonds, thus mimicking β-sheet secondary structures in proteins. In both crystal forms side chains act as joints among the columns or the ribbons and contribute to the stability of the whole solid-state assembly. Water molecules in the hydrate crystal form (I) bridge columns of cyclic peptoid molecules, providing a more efficient packing.
