N-(tert-Butylcarbonylglycylaminoethyl)-N-(ethyl)ammonium tetraphenylborate, C11H24N3O+2.C24H20B-, Mr = 549.57, triclinic, P-1, a = 11.567 (2), b = 11.922 (2), c = 14.484 (3) A, alpha = 70.99 (2), beta = 74.83 (2), gamma = 59.33 (1) degrees, V = 1613.1 A3, Z = 2, D chi = 1.13 g cm-3, lambda(Cu K alpha) = 1.5418 A, mu = 4.69 cm-1, mu Rmax much less than 1, F(000) = 592, T = 293 K, R = 0.058 for 3491 observed reflections. This pseudopeptide is folded by a short N(+)-H ... O = C hydrogen bond (N3 ... O1 = 2.81 A) which closes a ten-membered ring. This results in a beta-turn structure that can be classified as type II on the basis of the conformational angles for the N-terminal glycine. The conformational angles phi 1, psi 1, phi 2 and psi 2 are -53.4 (6), 139.7 (4), 91.5 (5) and -62.6 (6) degrees respectively.

The misfolding and amyloid aggregation of proteins have been attracting scientific interest for a few decades, due to their link with several diseases, particularly neurodegenerative diseases. Proteins can assemble and result in insoluble aggregates that, together with intermediate oligomeric species, modify the extracellular environment. Many efforts have been and are devoted to the search for cosolvents and cosolutes able to interfere with amyloid aggregation.

-β, β-β' trifused porphyrins incorporating two distinct active methylene groups (MN = malononitrile and IND = 1,3-indanedione) and their corresponding metal complexes with Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been synthesized with good to excellent yields and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and spectrometric methods. Single crystal X-ray analysis of the Zn(II) complex ZnTFPMB(MN) (where TFP = trifused porphyrin and MB = mono benzo) revealed a nonplanar 'armchair' type conformation with a twist angle of 24.10°.

Exploring the conformational space of molecules remains a challenge of fundamental importance to quantum chemistry: identification of relevant conformers at ambient conditions enables predictive simulations of almost arbitrary properties. Here, we propose a novel approach, called TTConf, to enable conformational sampling of large organic molecules where the combinatorial explosion of possible conformers prevents the use of a brute-force systematic conformer search. We employ tensor trains as a highly efficient dimensionality reduction algorithm, effectively reducing the scaling from exponential to polynomial.

Three Sm(II) dibenzo-24-crown-8 (db24c8) complexes were synthesized in anhydrous, air-free conditions via the reaction of SmI with db24c8 and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate ([TBA][BPh]; where needed) in acetonitrile (CHCN), dimethoxyethane (DME), and tetrahydrofuran (THF) to yield [Sm(db24c8)(CHCN)][BPh][I]·CHCN, [Sm(db24c8)(DME)]I, and [Sm(db24c8)(THF)]I, respectively. In each case, a 10-coordinate, staggered dodecahedral (2:6:2) environment is formed around the Sm center that is completed by either two solvent molecules (CHCN or THF) or one bidentate solvent molecule (DME). Inner-sphere solvent molecules can be excluded by reacting SmI with db24c8 in 1:3 THF:toluene to yield Sm(db24c8)I.
