In the crystal structure of the title salt, C(8)H(11)N(4)O(2) (+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (-), the pictrate anion participates in extensive hydrogen bonding with the guanidinium ion group of the cation, linking the mol-ecules through N(+)-H⋯O(-) hydrogen bonds and inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions. These hydrogen-bonding configurations involve two three-centre/bifurcated bonds [N-H⋯(O,O)] that are observed between two N atoms from the guanidinium ion group of the cation and the o-NO(2) and phenolate O atoms of the picrate anion. In addition, π-π inter-actions also contribute to the crystal packing, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.693 (6) Å and a slippage angle of 1.614°. A significant number of conformational differences are observed between the salt in the crystal structure and the models obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the geometry-optimized structure.

Generative design of crystal structures by point cloud representations and diffusion model.

iScience

January 2025

School of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu 212013, P.R. China.

Efficiently generating energetically stable crystal structures has long been a challenge in material design, primarily due to the immense arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice. To facilitate the discovery of stable materials, we present a framework for the generation of synthesizable materials leveraging a point cloud representation to encode intricate structural information. At the heart of this framework lies the introduction of a diffusion model as its foundational pillar.

The change in the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a protein can affect its own function or interaction with other protein(s), which may lead to disease(s). Gene mutations, especially missense mutations, are the main cause of changes in protein structure. Due to the lack of protein crystal structure data, about three-quarters of human mutant proteins cannot be predicted or accurately predicted, and the pathogenicity of missense mutations can only be indirectly evaluated by evolutionary conservation.

Novel D-Ribofuranosyl Tetrazoles: Synthesis, Characterization, In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity, and Computational Studies.

ACS Omega

January 2025

Applied Chemistry and Environment Laboratory, Applied Bioorganic Chemistry Team, Faculty of Science, Ibn Zohr University, Agadir 80000, Morocco.

The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate new antimicrobial compounds. We specifically focused on the development of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives containing the O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-(D)-ribofuranoside groups through N-alkylation reactions. The synthesized compounds were characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

The structural stability of the energetic material 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrostilbene (-HNS) under high pressure is critical for optimizing its detonation performance and low sensitivity. However, its structural response to external pressure has not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of -HNS demonstrate that the sample exhibits pronounced anisotropic strain, demonstrating an unusual negative linear compressibility (NLC) along the axis, with a coefficient of -4.

An isolable boron-centered radical anion stabilized by a carbazole moiety.

Dalton Trans

January 2025

Hebei Center for New Inorganic Optoelectronic Nanomaterial Research, Hebei Key Laboratory of Heterocyclic Compounds, College of Chemical Engineering and Materials, Handan University, Handan 056002, P. R. China.

The isolation of a stable persistent carbazole-stabilized boron-centered monoradical anion 1˙, which has a high spin density at the B atom, has been reported. It is characterized using the crystal structure and UV-vis absorption spectrum, as well as electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Interestingly, the B-N bond was activated by the boron-centered radical anion 1˙, which had not been reported before.
