We have solved the single crystal structure to 1.2-A resolution of the Z-DNA sequence d(CGCGCG) soaked with copper(II) chloride. This structure allows us to elucidate the structural properties of copper in a model that mimics a physiologically relevant environment. A copper(II) cation was observed to form a covalent coordinate bond to N-7 of each guanine base along the hexamer duplex. The occur...

The structure of the Mg2+ complex of yeast enolase has been determined from crystals grown in solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) at pH 8.1. Crystals belong to the space group P2(1) and have unit cell dimensions a = 72.5 A, b = 73.2 A, c = 89.1 A, and beta = 104.4 degrees. There is one dimer in the asymmetric unit. The current crystallographic R-factor is 19.0% for all recorded data to 1.9 A res...

A GIVEN transition group complex is characterized by two sets of parameters: (1) the orbital energy differences in the partly filled shell (one value, Δ, in octahedral and tetrahedral symmetry, two quantities in linear, three in tetragonal, and four in lower symmetries), and (2) the parameters of interelectronic repulsion. This determines a two-dimensional classification of octahedral complexes...

The synthesis of novel mercury (II) complex with new ligands derived from Carbohydrazides has been reported. The complexes have general composition [ HgL2X2], Where L= Carbohydrazone and X = Cl-, NO3 . The ligand carbohydrazone behave as neutral bidentate Ligand through the carbonyl oxygen and azomethiene nitrogen. On the basis of elemental analysis, Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies, t...

The copper(II) complex [Cu(pic)2]·2H2O was synthesized with 2-picolinic acid (Hpic) and copper acetate as reactants by room temperature solid-solid reaction. The composition and structure of the complex was characterized by elemental analyses, single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calor...

The dinuclear complexes [Ni(micro-Cl){(4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyloxazol-2-yl)methanol}](2)Cl(2) and [Ni(micro-Cl){(pyridin-2-yl)methanol}](2)Cl(2) 16 have been synthesized in high yields by reaction of NiCl(2) with 2 mol. equiv. of the ligands 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyloxazol-2-yl)methanol 13 or (pyridin-2-yl)methanol 15, respectively. The reaction of NiCl(2) with 3 mol. equiv. of 15 afforded in hi...

Media New York 2016 ABSTRACT For ABO3 perovskites, the magnetic and electronic properties couple strongly to the BO6 octahedral rotations and distortions. Therefore, precise control of the octahedral rotations and distortions via epitaxial strain and interfacial octahedral connectivity has become the key for engineering novel functionalities in ABO3 heterostructures and superlattices. In this p...

p-tert-Butylcalix[6]arene hexaacetic acid is in a symmetric cone conformation in CHCl3, but it becomes conformationally flexible in CHCl3/CH3CN (1 : 1). In this mixture the host has a strong binding affinity towards Pb(II) and instantly forms a complex of low symmetry--shortly thereafter structural reorganization occurs resulting in a high symmetry complex of Pb(II) in an octahedral cage of car...

The first crystal structure of  [Cu(terpy)2](PF6 )2 , where terpy=2,2':6',2"-terpyridine is reported. Green crystals of  [Cu(terpy)2](PF6 )2 were grown by ether diffusion into an acetonitrile solution of the complex. Crystal structure of this complex is tetragonal ( space group: P21c ...

The high spin complex Fe(I1) (N, N'-dicyclohexylthiourea)~(C10~)~ exists in two forms which only differ in the distortion from octahedral symmetry of the environment of the Fe ion. Thermodynamic data for the transformation from one form to the other as obtained from Mossbauer spectroscopy are presented and a method to derive kinetic parameters is described.
