For the first time the two linkage isomers of a Ru(ii) complex with 2-(2'-pyridyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (cppH) - that form in comparable amounts - have been fully characterized individually. The X-ray structure of each isomer is related to its NMR spectrum in solution.

Free oligosaccharides in human milk have many biological functions for infant health. The reducing end of most human milk oligosaccharides is lactose, and caprine milk was reported to contain oligosaccharides structurally similar to those present in human milk. The structures of oligosaccharides were traditionally determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or enzyme digestion followed by various detection methods, e.

We report herein the synthesis of an unprecedented isomer of perylene, dicyclohepta[cd,fg]-as-indacene bearing two phenyl groups (1-Ph) by the nickel-mediated intramolecular homocoupling of a 4,4'-biazulene derivative (2). The X-ray crystallographic analysis and theoretical calculations revealed that 1-Ph adopts a unique helically twisted geometry although the local aromaticity of azulene moieties was preserved. The double covalent linkage of the two azulene skeletons imparts significant orbital interaction, which affords near-infrared (NIR) absorption (up to 1720 nm) and remarkable redox behaviors despite its closed-shell electronic structure.

In biological systems, nitrite reductase enzymes (NIRs) are responsible for reduction of nitrite (NO) to nitric oxide (NO). These NIRs have mostly Cu- or Fe-containing active sites, surrounded by amine-containing ligands. Therefore, mononuclear Cu complexes with N-donor ligands are highly relevant in the development of NIR model systems and in the mechanistic investigation of the nitrite reduction reaction.

A monocationic dicopper(I,I) nitrite complex [Cu(μ-κ:κ-ON)DPFN][NTf] () (DPFN = 2,7-bis(fluoro-di(2-pyridyl)methyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, NTf = N(SOCF)), was synthesized by treatment of a dicopper acetonitrile complex, [Cu(μ-MeCN)DPFN][NTf] (), with tetrabutylammonium nitrite ([BuN][NO]). DFT calculations indicate that is one of three linkage isomers that are close in energy and presumably accessible in solution. Reaction of the μ-κ:κ-ON complex with -TolSH produces nitrous acid (HONO) and the corresponding dicopper thiolate species via an acid-base exchange reaction.

Rebaudioside M2 (RebM2) is characterized as 13-[(2--β-d-glucopyranosyl-3--β-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy] ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid-[(2--β-d-glucopyranosyl-6--β-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl) ester], an isomer of rebaudioside M with a 1 → 6 sugar linkage. The product was found in the biotransformation of rebaudioside D (RebD) catalyzed by a glycosyltransferase from (UGT). Herein, guided by consensus engineering and molecular dynamics simulations, a variant UGT with enhanced activity and thermostability was obtained.
