The paper presents a combined experimental and computational study of hexa(1-vinylimidazole)Ni(II) perchlorate complex. The complex was prepared in the laboratory and crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a=8.442(5), b=13.686(8), c=16.041(9) Å, α=γ=90, β=96.638(5), and Z=1. The complex has been characterized structurally (by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction) and its molecular structure in the ground state has been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) methods with 6-31G(d) and LanL2DZ basis sets. Thermal behaviour and stability of the complex were studied by TGA/DTA analyses. Besides, the nonlinear optical effects (NLO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), and the Mulliken charge distribution were investigated theoretically.

Two new aromatic pyrimidine-based derivatives designed specifically for halogen bond directed self-assembly are investigated through a combination of high-resolution Raman spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and computational quantum chemistry. The vibrational frequencies of these new molecular building blocks, pyrimidine capped with furan (PrmF) and thiophene (PrmT), are compared to those previously assigned for pyrimidine (Prm). The modifications affect only a select few of the normal modes of Prm, most noticeably its signature ring breathing mode, ν1. Structural analyses afforded by X-ray crystallography, and computed interaction energies from density functional theory computations indicate that, although weak hydrogen bonding (C–H···O or C–H···N interactions) is present in these pyrimidine-based solid-state co-crystals, halogen bonding and π-stacking interactions play more dominant roles in driving their molecular-assembly.

The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided/controlled by weak directional intermolecular interactions.

Ten new crystal structures of cis and trans bicyclic diketopiperazines (DKPs) of thia-pipecolic acid (with sulfur in the β, γ or δ position) or thia-proline (with sulfur in the β or γ position) and N-methyl phenylalanine [(NMe)Phe]: cyclo[(β-S)Pip-(NMe)Phe], cyclo[(γ-S)Pip-(NMe)Phe], cyclo[(δ-S)Pip-(NMe)Phe], cyclo[(β-S)Pro-(NMe)Phe] and cyclo[(γ-S)Pro-(NMe)Phe] were determined with X-ray crystallography. Density functional theory calculations of these molecules in the gas phase succeed in reproducing the observed molecular conformations in the crystal remarkably well. This illustrates the weak to moderate impact of intermolecular packing forces in the absence of classical N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The effect of sulfur on the geometry of the DKP ring and details of amide bond non-planarity are discussed. Molecular flexibility of the DKP ring, as estimated from the calculated deformation energies of its endocyclic ring torsion angles, is not in general the decisive factor for the occurrence of multiple symmetry independent molecules in the unit cell (Z′ > 1), though in some cases a correlation is observed.

Abstract Phosphoric triamides are attractive to investigate because of their extensive applications in various fields, especially in medicine. Five new phosphoric triamides with the main parts [N]P(O)[NH]2 and [C(O)NH]P(O)[N]2 have been structurally analyzed by single crystal MoKα/synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and characterized by spectroscopic methods (FT-IR and 1H, 13C, 31P NMR). Compounds crystallize in orthorhombic (1 with space group Pnma) and monoclinic (2 (P21/a), 3 (C2/c), 4 (P21/n) and 5 (P21/c)) crystal systems. The asymmetric unit of all structures consists of one phosphoric triamide molecule, except for 1 with one half of molecule. X-ray crystallography data reveal that the molecular architectures constructed by classical N—H … O hydrogen bonds are as 1D linear (building the R 2 1 ( 6 ) ${R}\_{2}^{1}(6)$ , C(4) and R 2 2 ( 10 ) / R 2 1 ( 6 ) ${R}\_{2}^{2}(10)/{R}\_{2}^{1}(6)$ motifs, respectively, for 1–3) or dimeric (the R 2 2 ( 8 ) ${R}\_{2}^{2}(8)$ ring motif for 4 and 5). A detailed investigation of the intermolecular interactions using Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis illustrates that the H … H, O … H/H … O and C … H/H … C contacts for all compounds, and Cl … H/H … Cl and F … H/H … F contacts for 3–5, are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing. Moreover, based on the calculated enrichment ratios (E), the O … H/H … O contacts including the classical N—H … O hydrogen bonds for all structures are considered as favoured contacts.

X-ray crystallography firmly established the relative stereochemistry of the title compound, C16H20N2O3. The acetonide ring adopts an envelope conformation with one of the O atoms as the flap and the piperidine ring adopts a slightly twisted boat conformation. The absolute configuration was determined by use of D-ribose as the starting material. The compound exists as O—H...O hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules running parallel to thebaxis.

Although difference Fourier techniques are standard in X-ray crystallography it has only been very recently that electron crystallographers have been able to take advantage of this method. We have combined a high resolution data set for frozen glucose embedded Purple Membrane (PM) with a data set collected from PM prepared in the frozen hydrated state in order to visualize any differences in structure due to the different methods of preparation. The increased contrast between protein-ice versus protein-glucose may prove to be an advantage of the frozen hydrated technique for visualizing those parts of bacteriorhodopsin that are embedded in glucose. In addition, surface groups of the protein may be disordered in glucose and ordered in the frozen state. The sensitivity of the difference Fourier technique to small changes in structure provides an ideal method for testing this hypothesis.

Three-dimensional reconstruction techniques using electron microscopy have been principally developed for application to 2-D arrays (i.e. monolayers) of biological molecules and symmetrical single particles (e.g. helical viruses). However many biological molecules that crystallise form multilayered microcrystals which are unsuitable for study by either the standard methods of 3-D reconstruction or, because of their size, by X-ray crystallography. The grid sectioning technique enables a number of different projections of such microcrystals to be obtained in well defined directions (e.g. parallel to crystal axes) and poses the problem of how best these projections can be used to reconstruct the packing and shape of the molecules forming the microcrystal.Given sufficient projections there may be enough information to do a crystallographic reconstruction in Fourier space. We however have considered the situation where only a limited number of projections are available, as for example in the case of catalase platelets where three orthogonal and two diagonal projections have been obtained (Fig. 1).
