Structure of Pigment Yellow 181 dimethylsulfoxide N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (1:1:1) solvate from XRPD + DFT-D

چکیده
With only a 2.6 Å resolution laboratory powder diffraction pattern of the θ phase of Pigment Yellow 181 (P.Y. 181) available, crystal-structure solution and Rietveld refinement proved challenging; especially when the crystal structure was shown to be a triclinic dimethylsulfoxide N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (1:1:1) solvate. The crystal structure, which in principle has 28 possible degrees of freedom, was determined in three stages by a combination of simulated annealing, partial Rietveld refinement with dummy atoms replacing the solvent molecules and further simulated annealing. The θ phase not being of commercial interest, additional experiments were not economically feasible and additional dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) calculations were employed to confirm the correctness of the crystal structure. After the correctness of the structure had been ascertained, the bond lengths and valence angles from the DFT-D minimized crystal structure were fed back into the Rietveld refinement as geometrical restraints (`polymorph-dependent restraints') to further improve the details of the crystal structure; the positions of the H atoms were also taken from the DFT-D calculations. The final crystal structure is a layered structure with an elaborate network of hydrogen bonds.

Induction of erythroid differentiation in murine virus infected eythroleukemia cells by highly polar compounds.
Murine-virus-infected erythroleukemia cells cultured in a medium with dimethylsulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide are induced to differentiate to erythroid cells. A number of highly polar compounds have a similar effect in inducing erythroid differentiation of the virus-infected cells, as assayed by the appearance of hemoglobin. These compounds are 1-methyl-1-2-piperidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide,...

Cytenamide forms a 1:1 solvate with trifluoro-acetic acid (systematic name: 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclo-hepta-triene-5-carboxamide trifluoro-acetic acid solvate), C(16)H(13)NO·C(2)HF(3)O(2). The compound crystallizes with one mol-ecule of cytenamide and one of trifluoro-acetic acid in the asymmetric unit; these are linked by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form an R(2) (2)(8) motif. The trifluoro-me...
متن کاملA novel highly selective ligand for separation of actinides and lanthanides in the nuclear fuel cycle. Experimental verification of the theoretical prediction.
We have predicted earlier by DFT simulation that tridentate O,N,O-donor cyclic dilactams (B) belonging to the family of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides are much more selective and efficient extractants for the separation of lanthanides and actinides than open-structure pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides due to the higher degree of "ligand preorganization". In the present work, three new ligands of type (B...
