In the title tricyano-nitrile compound, C(8)H(5)N(5), the N-substituted cyano-ethyl group is offset to the imidazole ring [dihedral angle = 75.41 (15)°].

The crystal structure of di-μ(3)-chlorido-tetra-μ(2)-chlorido-dichloridoocta-(imidazole-κN)tetra-manganese(II) ethanol 1.234 solvate, [Mn(4)Cl(8)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(8)]·1.234C(2)H(5)O or [Mn(4)Cl(8)(Him)(8)]·1.234EtOH, where Him is imidazole (C(3)H(4)N(2)), is based upon two Mn(4)Cl(4) cubes which share one face, and which each lack one manganese vertex, giving a Mn(4)Cl(6) unit. This contains two d...

In the title compound, C(14)H(15)N(5)O(4), the central -C=N-N-C(=O)-C- bridge is nearly planar [maximum deviation = 0.037 (1) Å] and forms dihedral angles of 7.37 (9) and 73.33 (5)°, respectively, with the benzene and imidazole rings. The dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 66.08 (9)°. The meth-oxy and nitro groups are nearly coplanar with the benzene and imidazole rings, ...

The possible role of the regulatory light chains (LC2) in in vitro assembly of rabbit skeletal and dog cardiac myosins was examined by formation of minifilaments and synthetic thick filaments. After LC2 was removed, the resulting myosin preparations exhibited little aggregation in 0.5 M KCl and 0.05 M potassium phosphate (pH 6.5). Minifilaments migrated as a single, hypersharp peak during sedim...

Multicobalt(II) two-dimensional layer coordination polymer {[Co(bitbu-OMe)2(NCS)2]·2MeOH}n (1) was synthesized using a bis-imidazole ligand having steric hindrance, tert-butyl, and one methoxy group expressed by bitbu-OMe (bitbu-OMe = 1,1′-[(5-tert-butyl-2-methoxybenzene-1,3-diyl)dimethanediyl]bis(1H-imidazole). Since there are two methanol molecules trapped inside each void within 1, the inves...
