The synthesis of an analogue of the neuropharmacologically active peptide Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 in which the Leu-Gly peptide bond has been replaced with a tetrazole moiety was carried out. The molecular and crystal structure of the tetrazole analogue Pro-Leuψ[CN4]Gly-NH2 was determined by X-ray diffraction and a comparison was made with the published X-ray structure of Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2. The tetrazole annular system turns out to be a good conformationally-restricted replacement for the cis-peptide bond in terms of bond lengths, bond angles and the ω torsion angle. The molecule was found to be folded at the -Leuψ[CN4]Gly- sequence, but it did not form the intramolecular N-H···O=C hydrogen bond characteristic of the type Vla β-bend conformation. In contrast to Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, Pro-Leuψ[CN4]Gly-NH2 was found to be unable to enhance the binding of dopamine receptor agonists to the dopamine receptor.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

The potential of hemp fibre as a reinforcing material for Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was investigated. Good interaction between hemp fibre and PLA resulted in increases of 100% for Young’s modulus and 30% for tensile strength of composites containing 30 wt% fibre. Different predictive ‘rule of mixtures’ models (e.g. Parallel, Series and Hirsch) were assessed regarding the dependence of tensile properties on fibre loading. Limited agreement with models was observed. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that hemp fibre increased the degree of crystallinity in PLA composites.

In this study, composite nanofibers of polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (PANI-DBSA) and Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were prepared via an electrospinning process. The surface morphology, thermal properties and crystal structure of PLA/PANI-DBSA nanofibers are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM images showed that the morphology and diameter of the nanofibers were affected by the weight ratio of blend solution.

Reactions of [Cp*IrCl2]2 (Cp*=η3-C5Me5) with [MgC4H6·2 THF]n at low temperature give [Cp*Ir(η4-C4H6)] together with [Cp*Ir(η3-C4H7)R] compounds, the latter being formed via C-H activation of solvent molecules RH (RH = benzene, toluene, anisole, thiophene, furane, N-methylpyrrole, pentane, cyclohexane. THF). In the case of pyrrole, C-N -activation occurs. The ratio of syn and anti isomers of the 1-methylallyl complexes as well as the sites of C-H activation of RH were investigated by NMR spectrometry. An enantiomorphous crystal of [Cp*Ir(η3-C4H7)C6Hs] was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis which reveals trigonal planar coordination at the Ir atom and an exo, syn conformation of the 1-methylallyl ligand. A mechanism of the reaction which involves 16-electron intermediates is discussed. The corresponding system [Cp*RhCl2]2/butadienemagnesium/RH gives only [Cp*Rh(η4-C4H6)], and no C-H activation is observed.

By electrochemical oxidation of [B6H6]2- in the presence of nitrite ions and of the base DBU in dichlorom ethane solution the μ-nitroso-bis(pentahydrohexaborate) [B6H5(NO)B6H5]3- ion is formed and can be isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The crystal structure of the Cs salt has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Cs3[B6H5(NO)B6H5] is orthorhombic, space group Pnma with a = 16.2303(13), b = 12.245(6), c = 25.444(2) Å. The unit cell contains three crystallographically independent anions with nearly C2v symmetry but differently distorted B6 cages

By electrochemical oxidation of (n-Bu4N)[B6H5Hfac(C2H5)] in the presence of nitrite ions and of the base DBU in dichloromethane solution cis-[B6H4(C2H5)(NO2)]2- is formed. X-ray diffraction analysis has been performed on a single crystal of cis-(Ph4 As)2[B6H4(C2H5)(NO2)] (triclinic, space group P1; a = 10.673(4). b = 10.907(4), c = 21.237(4) A, α = 80.789(4), β = 83.117(4), γ = 66.548(2)°, Z = 2). The 11B NMR spectrum is consistent with a disubstituted octahedral B6 cage with local Cs symmetry. The IR and Raman spectra exhibit characteristic CH3, CH2, NO2, BN, BH and B6 vibrations

The effect of a nucleating agent (NT-C) on the crystallization behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was studied. The melting and crystallization behavior and spherulitic morphology of the nucleated PLA were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). It is found that the crystallization temperature and crystallinity increase, the spherulitic size decrease for the nucleated PLA. But the crystal structure of the nucleated PLA is not changed.

An indole-containing diarylethene with a trifluoromethyl function at the meta-position of the phenyl group attached to the thiophene moiety was synthesised. Its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and its photochemical properties in solution and in the single crystalline phases were studied. The compound showed relatively high fluorescent modulation efficiency and cyclisation quantum yield.
