The protective effects of saccharides with various molecular weights (glucose, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltoheptaose, dextran 1060, dextran 4900, and dextran 10200) against lyophilization-induced structural perturbation of model proteins (BSA, ovalbumin) were studied. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis of the proteins in initial solutions and freeze-dried so...

The complex, of general formula [(C56H44P4O12)(NO)]BF4·CH2Cl2 or NO@Tiiii[H, CH3, C6H5] BF4·CH2Cl2, crystallizes in the space group P-1. The ...

In the title tetra-nuclear compound, [Cu4(C7H14NO)4Cl4], each Cu(II) cation is N,O-chelated by a piperidineethanolate anion and coordinated by a Cl(-) anion and two O atoms from neighboring piperidine-ethano-late anions in a distorted NO3Cl square-pyramidal geometry. The deprotonated hydroxyl groups of the piperidineethanolate anions bridge Cu(II) cations, forming the tetra-nuclear complex. All...

In the title compound, C(11)H(14)ClNO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation: the hydroxyl substituent and the N-bound H atom occupy the axial positions, while the benzene ring occupies the equatorial position. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into a centrosymmetric tetra-mer through strong O-H⋯N and weak N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds; the N and O atoms act as both donor and acceptor ...

The structure of the title compound, [MnCl(2)(C(5)H(10)O(2))(2)], was solved from low-temperature data collected at 100 (2) K. The asymmetric unit contains one half-mol-ecule with the Mn(II) ion located on a twofold axis. A distorted octa-hedral environment around the Mn atom is formed by two ether and two hydroxyl O atoms of two 2-(hydroxy-methyl)tetra-hydro-furan ligands, and by two chloride ...

In the title salt, C(13)H(19)N(2) (+)·BF(4) (-), an ionic liquid, the butyl and ethyl substituents bonded to the N atoms of the imidazole ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.019 (1) Å] adopt equatorial positions. The crystal structure exhibits slipped π-π inter-actions between the imidazole and benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.529 (2) Å]. In the tetra-fluoro-borat...

Isolated guanidinium ions and tetra-phenyl-borate ions are present in the crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(22)N(3)O(2) (+)·C(24)H(20)B(-). In the guanidinium ion, the dihedral angle between the N/C/N and C/C/C planes being 49.9 (1)°. The six-membered ring exhibits a half-chair conformation. The C-N bond lengths in the cation range between 1.3335 (16) and 1.3552 (16) Å, indicating...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C(8)H(22)N(4) (2+)·2C(7)H(5)O(3) (-), comprises half a 2,2'-(piperazine-1,4-di-yl)diethan-aminium dication plus a 2-hy-droxy-benzoate anion. In the crystal, the anions and cations are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form infinite two-dimensional networks parallel with the a unit-cell face. The conformation adopted by the cation in the crystal i...

The cationic complex in the structure of the title compound, [Co(Et(2)NCS(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]BF(4), has a Co(III) atom with a distorted octa-hedral coordination formed by four S atoms of two diethyl-dithio-carbamate and two N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. The crystal structure features head-to-tail stacking of the phenanthroline ligands. The tetra-fluorido-borate anions are positione...

The title compounds, K(+)·C7H7BF3O(-), (I), and K(+)·C6H4BF4 (-), (II), are mol-ecular salts containing para-substituted phenyl-tri-fluorido-borate anions. In each compound, the B atom adopts a distorted tetra-hedral BCF3 geometry. Despite their different compositions and space groups, the irregular KF8 coordination polyhedra of the potassium cations in the structures are almost identical. Thes...
