Organic Fluorine

The phrase "Organic fluorine" [1] was introduced by Dunitz and Taylor in 1997 to identify the C–F bonds in organic systems. Different research groups have used the phrase to glorify or deny the influence of C–F bond in crystal lattices. Once Dunitz stated that "Organic Fluorine: Odd Man Out" and Howard et al. questioned the role of "Organic fluorine" in crystal engineering. While some researchers have refuted the role of "organic fluorine" in crystal packing; the others indicated the importance of the interactions involving the same group. A number of publications have shown the importance of "Organic fluorine" in influencing crystal packing. We have been interested in the area of weak interactions in organic solid state chemistry since 1999 [2]; especially interactions involving "Organic fluorine". The study is being conducted following a systematic approach and is still in progress. We have looked at the structures of a number if tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives, a number of differently substituted imines, phenyleacetanilydes, benzanilides and azobenzenes [3] etc. in order to elucidate the influence of "Organic fluorine" in crystal engineering both in the presence and in the absence of strong hydrogen bonding functional groups present within the molecule. A short summary of our observations will be highlighted in the presentation.

The isocyanide complexes cis-[MCl2(CNC6H4-4-X)2] (M = Pd; X = Cl, Br; M = Pt; X = Br) form isomorphous crystal structures exhibiting the Cl/Br and Pd/Pt exchanges featuring 1D chains upon crystallisation. Crystal packing is supported by the C–X···X–C halogen bonds (HaBs), C–H···X–C hydrogen bonds (HB), X···M semicoordination, and C···C contacts between the C atoms of aryl isocyanide ligands. The results of DFT calculations and topological analysis indicate that all the above contact types belong to attractive noncovalent interactions. A projection of the electron localization function (ELF) and an inspection of the electron density (ED) and the electrostatic potential (ESP) reveal the amphiphilic nature of X atoms playing the role of HaB donors, HaB and HB acceptors, and a nucleophilic partner in X···M semicoordination.

Covalent Interactions

The influence of non-covalent interactions on the crystal packing of molecules is well documented in the literature. Unlike molecular solids, crystal engineering of non-molecular solids is difficult to interpret as aggregation is complicated by the presence of neutral as well as ionic species and a range of forces operating, from weak hydrogen bonding to strong covalent interactions. In this perspective, we demonstrate for the first time the role of non-bonding interactions in the occurrence of oxide, hydroxide, or chloride linkages in oxides, hydroxychlorides, and chlorides of copper-based minerals and coordination polymers in terms of a mechanistic approach based on supramolecular retrosynthesis. The model proposed here visualizes the crystal nucleus as a supramolecular analogue of a transition state wherein appropriate tectons (chemically reasonable molecules) aggregate through non-bonding forces that can be perceived through well-known supramolecular synthons. The mechanistic approach provides chemical insights into the occurrence of different topologies and solid-state phenomena like polymorphism.

The Impact

<p>Pyrogenic carbon plays important roles in microbial reduction of ferrihydrite by shuttling electrons in the extracellular electron transfer (EET) processes. Despite its importance, a full assessment on the impact of graphitic structures in pyrogenic carbon on microbial reduction of ferrihydrite has not been conducted. This study is a systematic evaluation of microbial ferrihydrite reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 in the presence of pyrogenic carbon with various graphitization extents. The results showed that the rates and extents of microbial ferrihydrite reduction were significantly enhanced in the presence of pyrogenic carbon, and increased with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Combined spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses suggested that the rate of microbial ferrihydrite reduction were dependent on the electrical conductivity of pyrogenic carbon (i.e., graphitization extent), rather than the electron exchange capacity. The key role of graphitic structures in pyrogenic carbon in mediating EET was further evidenced by larger microbial electrolysis current with pyrogenic carbon prepared at higher pyrolysis temperatures. This study provides new insights into the electron transfer in the pyrogenic carbon-mediated microbial reduction of ferrihydrite.</p>

Meiotic Crossover

In budding yeast, the MutL homolog heterodimer Mlh1-Mlh3 (MutLγ) plays a central role in the formation of meiotic crossovers. It is also involved in the repair of a subset of mismatches besides the main mismatch repair (MMR) endonuclease Mlh1-Pms1 (MutLα). The heterodimer interface and endonuclease sites of MutLγ and MutLα are located in their C-terminal domain (CTD). The molecular basis of MutLγ’s dual roles in MMR and meiosis is not known. To better understand the specificity of MutLγ, we characterized the crystal structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MutLγ(CTD). Although MutLγ(CTD) presents overall similarities with MutLα(CTD), it harbors some rearrangement of the surface surrounding the active site, which indicates altered substrate preference. The last amino acids of Mlh1 participate in the Mlh3 endonuclease site as previously reported for Pms1. We characterized mlh1 alleles and showed a critical role of this Mlh1 extreme C terminus both in MMR and in meiotic recombination. We showed that the MutLγ(CTD) preferentially binds Holliday junctions, contrary to MutLα(CTD). We characterized Mlh3 positions on the N-terminal domain (NTD) and CTD that could contribute to the positioning of the NTD close to the CTD in the context of the full-length MutLγ. Finally, crystal packing revealed an assembly of MutLγ(CTD) molecules in filament structures. Mutation at the corresponding interfaces reduced crossover formation, suggesting that these superstructures may contribute to the oligomer formation proposed for MutLγ. This study defines clear divergent features between the MutL homologs and identifies, at the molecular level, their specialization toward MMR or meiotic recombination functions.
