The tetrabutylammonium chloride complex with rac-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n, unit-cell parameters of; a = 10.4941(1)Å, b 26.3302(3)Å, c 11.5290(1)Å, α 90°, β 100.0154(5)°, γ 90 °, V 3137.05(5)Å3, and Z 4. packing mode, hydrogen bonding network, crystal data suggest that the structure is isomorphous reported of bromide rac-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol.2

This paper accompanies a lecture given at the 2003 CCP4 Study Weekend on experimental phasing. With the audience of the CCP4 Study Weekend in mind, an overview is given of symmetries of substructures and the implications for single isomorphous replacement and single anomalous diffraction phasing procedures, as well as difference Fourier analyses. Pointers are also provided to practical tools fo...

Two novel 3D isomorphous organic-inorganic hybrid frameworks, [M(1,4-napdc)]n ( M = Co(II), and Mn(II), ; 1,4-napdcH2 = napthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized, and the magnetic results exhibit metamagnetic behaviour (TC = 5.5 K), and a weak antiferromagnetic interaction, which are structurally correlated.

Thiaminases, enzymes that cleave vitamin B1, are sporadically distributed among prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Thiaminase I enzymes catalyze the elimination of the thiazole ring moiety from thiamin through substitution of the methylene group with a nitrogenous base or sulfhydryl compound. In eukaryotic organisms, these enzymes are reported to have much higher molecular weights than their bacterial...

This study presents the first structural report of kolbeckite, with the ideal formula ScPO(4).2H(2)O (scandium phosphate dihydrate), based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Kolbeckite belongs to the metavariscite mineral group, in which each PO(4) tetrahedron shares four vertices with four ScO(4)(H(2)O)(2) octahedra and vice versa, forming a three-dimensional network of polyhedra.

A framework analogous to that used for the analysis of data in the method of isomorphous replacement is applied to the analysis of multi-wavelength anomalous-diffraction (MAD) data. The present method is advantageous in that refinement of parameters describing the anomalously scattering atoms in the structure can be carried out using nearly all the data, and in that phase information can be rea...

Synthesis under hydrofluorothermal conditions produces new iron, manganese and vanadium fluorosulfates; these include the isomorphous Na(3)M(III)F(2)(SO(4))(2), M = V, Mn, Fe, with a sheet-like structure formed of linked M(III)F(2)O(4) and SO(4) polyhedra separated by sodium ions which may be extracted electrochemically at potentials of >3.5 V.
