The title Ni(II) complex, [Ni(C(8)H(8)NO(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is centrosymmetric with the Ni atom on an inversion center. The mol-ecule contains two 4-methyl-amino-benzoate (MAB) and two nicotinamide (NA) ligands and two coordinated water mol-ecules, all ligands being monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Ni atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination is completed by the two N atoms of the NA ligands in the axial positions. The dihedral angle between the carboxyl-ate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 2.09 (14)°, while the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 66.15 (4)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.

A small but growing set of radical SAM (-adenosyl-l-methionine) enzymes catalyze the radical mediated dehydration or dehydrogenation of 1,2-diol substrates. In some cases, these activities can be interchanged via minor structural perturbations to the reacting components raising questions regarding the relative importance of hyperconjugation, proton circulation and leaving group stability in determining the reaction outcome. The present work describes trapping and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) characterization of an α-hydroxyalkyl radical intermediate during dehydration and dehydrogenation of cytosylglucuronic acid and its derivatives catalyzed by the radical SAM enzyme BlsE and its Glu189Ala mutant from the blasticidin S biosynthetic pathway.

The linkage of an imidazole-based N-heterocyclic olefin (NHO), containing a terminal CH2 donor group, with a phosphorus-centered diradical molecular fragment leads to an open-shell singlet diphospha-indenylide system, a new class of P-heterocycles, which can be interpreted both as a phosphorus-centered diradicaloid and as a zwitterion with a permanent, overall charge separation between the N- and P-heterocyclic ring systems. The rotation of the imidazole ring, which is thermally possible due to a central C-C bond with a weakened π-component, changes both the charge separation and diradical character depending on the dihedral angle, as quantum mechanical calculations indicate. By varying the bulkiness of substituents at the imidazole-based NHO, it was possible to obtain different diphospha-indenylide species with different rotation angles in the solid state and hence varying diradical character.

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.

The hydroxysilylene (HSiOH) molecule has been spectroscopically identified in the gas phase for the first time. This highly reactive species was produced in a twin electric discharge jet using separate precursor streams of 16O2/18O2 and Si2H6/Si2D6, both diluted in high pressure argon. The strongest and most stable laser induced fluorescence (LIF) signals were obtained by applying an electric discharge to each of the precursor streams and then merging the discharge products just prior to expansion into vacuum.
