The triplex formation ability of a sense chain containing a cyanuryl nucleoside was evaluated and the tertiary structure of the triplex was calculated using the NOE in 1H NMR by incorporating a 15N into the base moiety.

We present here the design, synthesis, and analysis of a series of receptors for peptide ligands inspired by the hydrogen-bonding pattern of protein β-sheets. The receptors themselves can be regarded as strands 1 and 3 of a three-stranded β-sheet, with cross-linking between the chains through the 4-position of adjacent phenylalanine residues. We also report on the conformational equilibria of these receptors in solution as well as on their tendency to dimerize. 1H NMR titration experiments are used to quantify the dimerization constants, as well as the association constant values of the 1:1 complexes formed between the receptors and a series of diamides and dipeptides. The receptors show moderate levels of selectivity in the molecular recognition of the hydrogen-bonding pattern present in the diamide series, selecting the α-amino acid-related hydrogen-bonding functionality. Only one of the two cyclic receptors shows modest signs of enantioselectivity and moderate diastereoselectivity in the recognition of the enantiomers and diastereoisomers of the Ala-Ala dipeptide (ΔΔG 0 1 (DD-DL) = −1.08 kcal/mol and ΔΔG 0 1 (DD-LD) = −0.89 kcal/mol). Surprisingly, the linear synthetic precursors show higher levels of stereoselectivity than their cyclic counterparts.

In order to study the preferred hydrogen-bonding pattern of 6-amino-2-thiouracil, C4H5N3OS, (I), crystallization experiments yielded five different pseudopolymorphs of (I), namely the dimethylformamide disolvate, C4H5N3OS·2C3H7NO, (Ia), the dimethylacetamide monosolvate, C4H5N3OS·C4H9NO, (Ib), the dimethylacetamide sesquisolvate, C4H5N3OS·1.5C4H9NO, (Ic), and two different 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one sesquisolvates, C4H5N3OS·1.5C5H9NO, (Id) and (Ie). All structures containR21(6) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs. In the latter four structures, additionalR22(8) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs are present stabilizing homodimers of (I). No type of hydrogen bond other than N—H...O is observed. According to a search of the Cambridge Structural Database, most 2-thiouracil derivatives form homodimers stabilized by anR22(8) hydrogen-bonding pattern, with (i) only N—H...O, (ii) only N—H...S or (iii) alternating pairs of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.

The title benzofuran derivatives 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (BF1), C19H18N2O6, and 2-methoxyethyl 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (BF2), C18H16N2O7, recently attracted attention because of their promising antitumoral activity. BF1 crystallizes in the space group P\overline{1}. BF2 in the space group P21/c. The nitrophenyl group is inclined to benzofuran moiety with a dihedral angle between their mean planes of 69.2 (2)° in BF1 and 60.20 (6)° in BF2. A common feature in the molecular structures of BF1 and BF2 is the intramolecular N—H...Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond. In the crystal of BF1, the molecules are linked head-to-tail into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding pattern along the a-axis direction. In BF2, pairs of head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules along the b-axis direction are linked by O—H...Omethoxy hydrogen bonds. In BF1, the butyl group is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.557 (13) and 0.443 (13).

The adsorption behaviour of the CdII–MOF {[Cd(L)2(ClO4)2]·H2O (1), where L is 4-amino-3,5-bis[3-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazole, for butan-2-one was investigated in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) fashion. A new host–guest system that encapsulated butan-2-one molecules, namely poly[[bis{μ3-4-amino-3,5-bis[3-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazole}cadmium(II)] bis(perchlorate) butanone sesquisolvate], {[Cd(C24H18N6)2](ClO4)2·1.5C4H8O} n , denoted C4H8O@Cd-MOF (2), was obtained via an SCSC transformation. MOF 2 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P43212. The specific binding sites for butan-2-one in the host were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions and C—H...π interactions between the framework, ClO4 − anions and guest molecules co-operatively bind 1.5 butan-2-one molecules within the channels. The adsorption behaviour was further evidenced by 1H NMR, IR, TGA and powder X-ray diffraction experiments, which are consistent with the single-crystal X-ray analysis. A 1H NMR experiment demonstrates that the supramolecular interactions between the framework, ClO4 − anions and guest molecules in MOF 2 lead to a high butan-2-one uptake in the channel.

The crystal structures of five 1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinediones, antagonists of the NMDA modulatory glycine binding site on the excitary amino acid (EAA) receptor complex, have been determined: (I) 6,7-dinitro-1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione (DNQX); (II) 5,7-dinitro-1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione (MNQX); (III) 6-nitro-1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione hydrate; (IV) 6,7-dichloro-1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione; (V) 5,7-dichloro-1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione dimethylformamide. The crystal structure of the most active compound (II) contains a unique intramolecular N—H...O(NO2) hydrogen bond, which may be important for activity, as semiempirical calculations show that this bond is stable over a wide range of dihedral angles between the planes of the molecule and of the nitro group. In the other compounds the intermolecular hydrogen bonds connect molecules into three-dimensional networks. In compounds (I), (III) and (IV) head-to-tail: π-stacking is found between molecules connected by a center of symmetry. The geometries of the hydrogen-bonded —NH—C=O fragments show evidence of π-cooperativity or resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding. Graph-set analysis of the hydrogen-bond patterns of quinoxalinedione derivatives shows a tendency to form two types of hydrogen-bonding motifs: a centrosymmetric dimeric ring and an infinite chain. Even though this pattern may be modified by the presence of additional hydrogen-bond acceptors and/or donors, as well as by solvent molecules, general similarities have been found. Comparison of all quinoxalinedione structures suggests that the hydrogen-bonding pattern necessary for the biological activity at the glycine binding site contains one donor and two acceptors.
