The Effect of Hydrogen Bonding and π–π Stacking to Stabilization of 3D Networks of a New Proton Compound, (a-6-mpyH)(Hpyzd) H2O
A new proton transfer compound, formulated as (Hamp-6-pic)(Hpyzd) ∙H2O (1), has been synthesized from the reaction of pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (H2pyzd) and 2-amino-6-methyl pyridine (amp-6-pic), in 1:1 molar ratio. Extensive O−H×××O, N−H×××N and O−H×××O hydrogen bonds involving (Hamp-6-pic)+ cation, (Hpyzd)- anion and co-crystal water molecule٫ static electronic٫ and π…π stacking interac...
متن کاملDifluorotoluene, a Nonpolar Isostere for Thymine, Codes Specifically and Efficiently for Adenine in DNA Replication.
The high specificity of incorporation of nucleotides into DNA by polymerase enzymes is crucial for maintaining fidelity of information transfer in cellular replication. The initial insertion event is the first point at which mutations of the genome are avoided.1,2 Mismatched pairing at this step occurs on the level of only ∼1 in 103-105 insertions, indicating a selectivity of at least 4 kcal/mo...
متن کاملX-Ray, Crystal Structure and Solution Phase Studies of a Polymeric SrII Compound
In the crystal structure of the title polymeric compound, [C42H38N6O33Sr5.2(H2O)]n, five independent metal atoms (Sr1-Sr5) have different coordination environments. The Sr1 and Sr5 atoms are nine coordinated and feature distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic and capped square-antiprismatic geometries, respectively....
متن کاملHydrogen Bonding versus π-π Stacking Interactions in Imidazolium-Oxalatoborate Ionic Liquid.
Intermolecular features like hydrogen bonding and π-type interactions play pivotal roles in stabilizing molecular structures in ionic liquids with planar rings and hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors. However, the delicate interplay among these interactions is complicated and depends on specific ion types. In this work, ab initio molecular dynamics simulations were performed to reveal competitiv...
