AbstractThe high fluoride ion conductivity of fluorite type MF2 has been attributed tothe fact that half of the F8 cubes present in this structure are empty and therefore, are potential vacant sites for interstitial fluoride ions in the formation of Frenkel defects. However, the model of long range ion motion through Frenkel defects by use of empty F8 cubes is in contradiction with: (i) the little difference between the conductivities of CaF2 and BaF2, (ii) the conductivity of β-PbF2 being much larger than that of BaF2, and (iii) the much higher performance of MSnF4 even though there is no empty cube to form Frenkel defects in the MSnF4 structures.

ABSTRACTA combined approach, using solid state NMR and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, has been employed in this work to investigate fluoride-ion motion in the PbSnF4 family of anionic conductors, materials that contain double layers of Sn2+ and M2+ cations. 19F MAS NMR spectra of PbSnF4 and BaSnF4 show that the fluoride ions are mobile on the NMR timescale (10−4 s), even at room temperature. In the case of BaSnF4, two different groups of fluoride ions were observed, one group corresponding to fluorine atoms between the layers of Ba2+ cations, and the other set, corresponding to mobile fluoride ions undergoing exchange between sites in the Ba-Sn and Sn-Sn layers. The 119Sn NMR suggests a highly distorted Sn environment in these compounds, consistent with the presence of stereoactive Sn lone pairs. MD simulations, using the Polarizable Ion Model, have been carried out to probe the conduction mechanism. These simulations are able to reproduce elements of the structure such as the reduction in the occupancy of the fluorine ions between the Sn-Sn layers. Anisotropic conductivity, involving primarily motion in the M-Sn layers, is predicted, consistent with the NMR results. In the case of BaSnF4, no motion involving the fluoride ions in the Ba-Ba layers is observed on the simulation timescale (10−12 s) and a cyclic mechanism of fluoride-ion motion involving two types of fluoride ions in the Ba-Sn layers is proposed.

SummaryPhysico-chemical properties of recombinant desulphatohirudin expressed in yeast (CIBA GEIGY code No. CGP 39393) were reinvestigated. As previously reported for natural hirudin, the recombinant molecule exhibited abnormal behaviour by gel filtration with an apparent molecular weight greater than that based on the primary structure. However, molecular weight estimation by SDS gel electrophoresis, FAB-mass spectrometry and Photon Correlation Spectroscopy were in agreement with the theoretical molecular weight, with little suggestion of dimer or aggregate formation. Circular dichroism studies of the recombinant molecule show similar spectra at different pH values but are markedly different from that reported by Konno et al. (13) for a natural hirudin-variant. Our CD studies indicate the presence of about 60% beta sheet and the absence of alpha helix in the secondary structure of recombinant hirudin, in agreement with the conformation determined by NMR studies (17)
