Informative Approach

Membranes of cells are active barriers, in which membrane proteins perform essential remodelling, transport and recognition functions that are vital to cells. Membrane proteins are key regulatory components of cells and represent essential targets for the modulation of cell function and pharmacological intervention. However, novel folds, low molarity and the need for lipid membrane support present serious challenges to the characterisation of their structure and interactions. We describe the use of solid state NMR as a versatile and informative approach for membrane and membrane protein studies, which uniquely provides information on structure, interactions and dynamics of membrane proteins. High resolution approaches are discussed in conjunction with applications of NMR methods to studies of membrane lipid and protein structure and interactions. Signal enhancement in high resolution NMR spectra through DNP is discussed as a tool for whole cell and interaction studies.

Organic semiconductor materials composed of π–π stacking aromatic compounds have been under intense investigation for their potential uses in flexible electronics and other advanced technologies. Herein we report a new family of seven π–π stacking compounds of silver(I) bis-N-(4-pyridyl) benzamide with varying counterions, namely [Ag(NPBA)2]X, where NPBA is N-(4-pyridyl) benzamine, X = NO3− (1), ClO4− (2), CF3SO3− (3), PF6− (4), BF4− (5), CH3PhSO3− (6), and PhSO3− (7), which form extended π−π stacking networks in one-dimensional (1D), 2D and 3D directions in the crystalline solid-state via the phenyl moiety, with average inter-ring distances of 3.823 Å. Interestingly, the counterions that contain π–π stacking-capable groups, such as in 6 and 7, can induce the formation of mesomorphic phases at 130 °C in dimethylformamide (DMF), and can generate highly branched networks at the mesoscale. Atomic force microscopy studies showed that 2D interconnected fibers form right after nucleation, and they extend from ~30 nm in diameter grow to reach the micron scale, which suggests that it may be possible to stop the process in order to obtain nanofibers. Differential scanning calorimetry studies showed no remarkable thermal behavior in the complexes in the solid state, which suggests that the mesomorphic phases originate from the mechanisms that occur in the DMF solution at high temperatures. An all-electron level simulation of the band gaps using NRLMOL (Naval Research Laboratory Molecular Research Library) on the crystals gave 3.25 eV for (1), 3.68 eV for (2), 1.48 eV for (3), 5.08 eV for (4), 1.53 eV for (5), and 3.55 eV for (6). Mesomorphic behavior in materials containing π–π stacking aromatic interactions that also exhibit low-band gap properties may pave the way to a new generation of highly branched organic semiconductors.

The preparation of the N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-N-alkylhydroxylamines, 6a (R = CH3) and 6b (R = CH2Ph), and their reactions with phenylboronic acid are described. Regardless of the molar ratios of reactants employed, the reaction with 6b leads to the 1:2 condensate 1-benzyl-7-methyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, 7, while that with 6a gives rise to the 1:1 condensate 1,4,6,9-tetramethyl-2,7-diphenyl-3,8,11,12-tetraoxa-1,6-diazonia-2,7-diboratatricyclo[5.3.1. 12,6]dodecane, 11 (the cyclic BONBON dimer of 4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane, 9). Compounds 7 and 11 both crystallize in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text]: for 7; a = 13.126(1), b = 15.337(1), c = 10.9469(5) Å, α = 91.727(5), β = 104.647(5), γ = 72.922(7)°, Z = 4; and for 11; a = 9.0807(4), b = 9.1653(3), c = 6.4876(2) Å, α = 97.708(3), β = 108.830(3), γ = 89.188(4)°, Z = 1. The structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.038 and 0.032 for 5879 and 1827 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2), respectively. Compound 7 has the expected bicyclic pyroboronate structure, but represents the first reported N-substituted example of this type of compound. Bond lengths involving boron in 7 are (C) O—B(sp3) = 1.428(2) and 1.420(2), (B)O—B(sp3) = 1.472(2) and 1.468(2), N—B(sp3) = 1.737(2) and 1.762(2), C(phenyl)—B(sp3) = 1.588(2) and 1.584(2), (N)O—B(sp2) = 1.402(2) and 1.404(2), (B)O—B(sp2) = 1.331(2) and 1.329(2), C(phenyl)—B(sp2) = 1.555(3) and 1.553(2) Å. The X-ray analysis establishes a centrosymmetric, twofold N → B coordinated, dimeric structure in the solid state for 11 in which each B—O—N segment of a central six-membered BONBON ring is bridged by an O—C—C moiety. Compound 11 represents the first fully characterized example of a new type of "BONBON" compound. Bond distances involving the boron atom are (N)O—B = 1.465(1), (C)O—B = 1.428(1), N—B = 1.695(2), and C(phenyl)—B = 1.607(2) Å. Spectroscopic evidence indicates that in solution and in the gas phase this material exists predominantly as the monomer 9.

Crystallographic Structures

Crystallographic structures of two new orthophosphates Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 obtained by conventional solid state reaction techniques at 900 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using Rietveld analysis. The two compounds belong to the Nasicon structural family. The space group is R3 for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and R3c for CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3. Hexagonal cell parameters for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 are: a=8.257(1) Å, c=22.276(2) Å, and a=8.514(1) Å, c=21.871(2) Å, respectively. Ca2+ and vacancies in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3 are ordered within the two positions, 3a and 3b, of M1 sites. Structure refinements show also a quasi-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions within the Nasicon framework. Thus, in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3, each Ca(3a)O6 octahedron shares two faces with two Fe3+O6 octahedra and each vacancy (◻(3b)O6) site is located between two Sb5+O6 octahedra. In [Ca]M1Sb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 compound (R3c space group), all M1 sites are occupied by Ca2+ and the Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions are randomly distributed within the Nasicon framework.
