Crystallographic Study

The structures of four new drimane-type sesquiterpenes 1–4 produced in liquid cultures of the fairy ring fungus, Marasmiusoreades, have been determined by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. The structure assigned to one of these sesquiterpenes (1) has been confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic study. An unprecedented feature of all four sesquiterpenes is the biosynthetic elaboration of C8–C12 and C15 of the drimane skeleton to a dioxabicyclooctane moiety. In addition, two of the sesquiterpenes possess an uncommon α orientation of the hydroxyl groups at C3. Keywords: sesquiterpenes, fungal metabolites, drimanes, fairy ring mushroom, crystal structure.

Absolute Stereochemistry

The structures of 12 new polyketide metabolites produced in liquid cultures of the fungus Arthropsistruncata have been determined by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. Four of these metabolites possess an unusual 2-oxaspiro[4.5]decane skeleton, and the structure assigned to one of these metabolites 20 has been confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic study of the dibenzoyl derivative 21. The absolute stereochemistry of these compounds has been predicted by application of the Harada–Nakanishi dibenzoate rule to arthropsolide D tribenzoate (32).

Partial Formation

The equilibria and mechanism of addition of protons to the ethylenediphosphinetetraacetate anion (L4-) were studied in solution by the UV, IR, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopic methods. A total of six protons can be bonded to the anion. They are added stepwise, first with partial formation of zwitterions containing P-H bonds, which then dissociate with formation of the free acid, H4L, where all four protons are bonded in carboxyl groups. The formation of zwitterions is strongly dependent on the concentration. In the final stage, the acid bonds two additional protons to form the bis-phosphonium cation, H6L2+. A number of isostructural salts containing this cation, H4L.2 HX (X = Cl, Br, I), have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the bromide confirmed the expected arrangement. The bromide crystals are monoclinic, a = 578.2, b = 1 425.0, c = 1 046.7 pm, β = 103.07° with a space group of P21/c, Z = 2. The final R factor was 0.059 based on 1 109 observed reflections. The structure consists of H6L2+ cations containing protons bonded to phosphorus atoms (P-H distance 134 pm) and of bromide anions, located in gaps which are also sufficiently large for I- anions in the isostructural iodide. The interbonding of phosphonium cations proceeds through hydrogen bonds, C-OH...O=C, in which the O...O distance is 275.3 pm.

The crystal structure of skutterudite-related phase IrGe1.5Se1.5 has been refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data for IrGe1.5Se1.5 are a=12.0890(2) Å, c=14.8796(3) Å, V=1883.23(6) Å3, space group R3 (No. 148), Z=24, and Dc=8.87 g/cm3. Its crystal structure can be derived from the ideal skutterudite structure (CoAs3), where Se and Ge atoms are ordered in layers perpendicular to the [111] direction of the original skutterudite cell. Weak distortions of the anion and cation sublattices were also observed.

Crystallographic Study

The octahedral anions [M(SnCl3)5Cl]4− (M = Ru, Os) have been fully characterized by 119Sn FT nmr spectroscopy. For M = Ru, 117Sn and 115Sn nmr spectra were also recorded, and an X-ray crystallographic study was carried out on the tetraethylammonium salt, isolated as a disolvate from acetonitrile. The Ru—Sn bond lengths indicate some degree of dπ–dπ interactions. The slight distortions from octahedral geometry are discussed in connection with the packing of the chlorine atoms. The Sn nmr spectra reveal the first observed coupling to a 99Ru nucleus (I = 5/2, 12.7% natural abundance), very large 2J(119Sn—117Sn) coupling constants, and the first observed second-order effects on a heteronuclear system. The octahedral anion [Ru(SnCl3)5(MeCN)]3− was also synthesized as the tetraethylammonium salt and characterized spectroscopically.

The crystal structure of methylprednisolone acetate form II, C24H32O6, has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Methylprednisolone acetate crystallizes in space group P212121 (#19) with a = 8.17608(2), b = 9.67944(3), c = 26.35176(6) Å, V = 2085.474(6) Å3, and Z = 4. Both hydroxyl groups act as hydrogen bond donors, resulting in a two-dimensional hydrogen bond network in the ab plane. C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds also contribute to the crystal energy. The powder pattern is included in the Powder Diffraction File™ as entry 00-065-1412.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

The structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, and the structure of aplyviolene was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray determination. The crystal structure was refined to a residual of 0.036 for 1125 independent observed reflections. The crystals were orthorhombic, space group P212121 with a 8.098(1), b 11.628(1), c 21.774(3)Ǻ.

Abstract The crystal structure and chemical composition of a crystal of Mg-bearing phase Egg with a general formula M1−x3+Mx2+SiO4H1+x (M3+ = Al, Cr; M2+ = Mg, Fe), where x = 0.35, produced by subsolidus reaction at 24 GPa and 1400 °C of components of subducted oceanic slabs (peridotite, basalt, and sediment), was analyzed by electron microprobe and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Neglecting the enlarged unit cell and the consequent expansion of the coordination polyhedra (as expected for Mg substitution for Al), the compound was found to be topologically identical to phase Egg, AlSiO3OH, space group P21/n, with lattice parameters a = 7.2681(8), b = 4.3723(5), c = 7.1229(7) Å, β = 99.123(8)°, V = 223.49(4) Å3, and Z = 4. Bond-valence considerations lead to hypothesize the presence of hydroxyl groups only, thereby excluding the presence of the molecular water that would be present in the hypothetical end-member MgSiO3·H2O. We thus demonstrate that phase Egg, considered as one of the main players in the water cycle of the mantle, can incorporate large amounts of Mg in its structure and that there exists a solid solution with a new hypothetical MgSiH2O4 end-member, according to the substitution Al3+ ↔ Mg2+ + H+. The new hypothetical MgSiH2O4 end-member would be a polymorph of phase H, a leading candidate for delivering significant water into the deepest part of the lower mantle.

The X-ray crystal structure of the gelator 1,3:2,4-dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol (DBS) is reported here. DBS is an important gelating molecule known for nearly 130 years, that has eluded crystallization until now. The crystal obtained presents an axial stacking of DBS molecules stabilized by both Van der Waals interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the side chain hydroxyl groups with either neighboring DBS or water molecules. The crystal structure shows definitive evidence for the frequently assumed “butterfly” type aggregation mode and experimentally proves the equatorial placement of the phenyl rings. The conformation of DBS has been analyzed in the crystal structure and compared with that determined in solution through NMR spectroscopy.
