Out Of Plane

At ambient temperature, the title compound, C16H14O3, is triclinic, with then-butyl side chain disordered in an out-of-plane orientation. On cooling below 240 K, it converts into a different triclinic phase with an ordered planar conformation and denser packing, which is retained on warming to room temperature. The transition (occasionally) proceeds from single crystal to single crystal.

Steroidal Lactone

Mycalone (1), a new steroid incorporating a novel six- membered lactone side chain, has been isolated fram a southern Australian marine sponge, Mycale sp. The gross structure for mycalone (1) was secured by spectroscopic analysis, and the stereochemistry established by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination.

Absolute Stereochemistry

The absolute stereochemistry of (+)- latifolk acid has been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis to be (2S,3R,4R)-3- hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid. The configuration of the three chiral centres is opposite to that presently recorded in the literature. Accordingly, the configuration of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid, latifoline, which includes a latifolic acid side chain, must be revised.

Dichroism has been observed in the infra-red spectrum of a single crystal of ribonuclease. The dichroism suggests that the crystal contains folded polypeptide chains whose direction is mainly along or near that of the c axis, in agreement with conclusions arrived at by Carlisle & Scouloudi from consideration of the X-ray diffraction pattern. A band ascribed to the N—H vibration of the amide groups in the side chains has been found to be dichroic, and this appears to show that the plane of the NH 2 group in the side chain amides is oriented parallel to the b axis of the crystal.

In the previous paper, the author reported on a technique for preparing vapor-deposited single crystal films as high resolution standards for electron microscopy. The present paper is intended to describe the preparation of several high resolution standards for dark field microscopy and also to mention some results obtained from these studies. Three preparations were used initially: 1.) Graphitized carbon black, 2.) Epitaxially grown particles of different metals prepared by vapor deposition, and 3.) Particles grown epitaxially on the edge of micro-holes formed in a gold single crystal film.The authors successfully obtained dark field micrographs demonstrating the 3.4Å lattice spacing of graphitized carbon black and the Au single crystal (111) lattice of 2.35Å. The latter spacing is especially suitable for dark field imaging because of its preparation, as in 3.), above. After the deposited film of Au (001) orientation is prepared at 400°C the substrate temperature is raised, resulting in the formation of many square micro-holes caused by partial evaporation of the Au film.
