The crystal structures of magnesium, aluminum, and titanium coordination complexes of the structurally preorganized tetrakis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethene are reported. As a result of the absence of steric shielding and the conformational flexibility of the ligand, pseudo-dimeric complexes are formed instead of crown- or raft-like compounds. The unsubstituted tetrakis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethene ligand thus emulates the complexation characteristics of the sterically open calix[4]arene system.Key words: coordination chemistry, polymetallic, titanium complexes, magnesium complexes, aluminum complexes, tetrakis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethene ligands, crystal structures.

The crystal structures of the complexes of malonic acid with DL- and L-arginine, which contain positively charged argininium ions and negatively charged semimalonate ions, further demonstrate the conformational flexibility of amino acids. A larger proportion of folded conformations than would be expected on the basis of steric consideration appears to occur in arginine, presumably because of the requirements of hydrogen bonding. The aggregation pattern in the DL-arginine complex bears varying degrees of resemblance to patterns observed in other similar structures. An antiparallel hydrogen-bonded dimeric arrangement of arginine, and to a lesser extent lysine, is a recurring motif. Similarities also exist among the structures in the interactions with this motif and its assembly into larger features of aggregation. However, the aggregation pattern observed in the L-arginine complex differs from any observed so far, which demonstrates that all the general patterns of amino-acid aggregation have not yet been elucidated. The two complexes represent cases where the reversal of the chirality of half the amino-acid molecules leads to a fundamentally different aggregation pattern.
