A novel zero-dimensional (0D) octacyanotungstate(V)-manganese(II) bimetallic assembly, {[MnII(bipy)2]2(ox)}.{[MnII(bipy)2W(CN)8]2}.4H2O (1) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, ox = C2O42-), was synthesized in methanol solution containing oxalic acid. X-ray analysis shows 1 is crystallized in monoclinic crystal system with C2/c space group and composed of two components of a dimeric Mn2 cation and a quadrate tetrameric Mn2W2 anion. The Mn2 and Mn2W2 moieties are connected by their respective pi-pi stacking to yield the alternative 2D layers, and the 2D layers are linked by hydrogen bonding to form a 3D network. The investigation of the magnetostructural correlation reveals that cyanide and oxalate bridges mediate weak intracluster antiferromagnetic coupling between Mn and W ions and between Mn ions, respectively. Further magnetic measurements and analysis show the spin glasses and intercluster ferromagnetic interaction exist in complex 1.

2,6-Dipicolinoylbis(-dialkylthioureas), HL, readily react with uranyl salts under formation of monomeric or dimeric complexes of the compositions [UO(L)(solv)] (solv = donor solvents such as HO, MeOH or DMF) or [{UO(L)(µ-OMe)}] (). In such complexes, the uranyl ions are exclusively coordinated by the "hard" ,, or donor atom sets of the central ligand unit and the lateral sulfur donor atoms do not participate in the coordination. Different conformations have been found for the dimeric anions.

UDP-α-D-galactofuranose (UDP-Galf): β-galactofuranoside β-(1→5)-galactofuranosyltransferase, known as GfsA, is essential in synthesizing β-(1→5)-galactofuranosyl oligosaccharides that are incorporated into the cell wall of pathogenic fungi. This study analyzed the structure and function of GfsA from . To provide crucial insights into the catalytic mechanism and substrate recognition, the complex structure was elucidated with manganese (Mn), a donor substrate product (UDP), and an acceptor sugar molecule (β-galactofuranose).

Thiocarboxamide chelates are known to assemble [2Mn2S] diamond core complexes via μ-S bridges that connect two Mn(CO) fragments. These can exist as and -isomers and interconvert via 16-electron, monomeric intermediates. Herein, we demonstrate that reduction of such Mn derivatives leads to a loss of one thiocarboxamide ligand and a switch of ligand binding mode from an O- to N-donor of the amide group, yielding a dianionic butterfly rhomb with a short Mn-Mn distance, 2.

The manganese transport regulator (MntR) from is a dual regulatory protein that responds to heightened Mn availability in the cell by both repressing the expression of uptake transporters and activating the expression of efflux proteins. Recent work indicates that, in its role as an activator, MntR binds several sites upstream of the genes encoding Mn exporters, leading to a cooperative response to manganese. Here, we use cryo-EM to explore the molecular basis of gene activation by MntR and report a structure of four MntR dimers bound to four 18-base pair sites across an 84-base pair regulatory region of the promoter.

The exploration of new open-framework polyoxometalates is very significant in structural chemistry and materials science. Herein, three new organic hybrid three-dimensional vanadium borophosphates (HO)(Haeae){[Cd(HO)][HO⊃(VBPO)]}·15HO (1, aeae = 2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethanol) and (HO)(Haeae){[TM(HO)(Haeae)][HO⊃ (VBPO)]}·9HO [TM = Mn(2), Co(3)] were hydrothermally prepared and structurally characterized. The three vanadium borophosphates contain similar 12-member ring crown-shaped clusters [(VBPO)] based on the linkage of six [VO] dimers and six [BPO] units.
