Sugar–Metal Ion Interactions: The Complicated Coordination Structures of Cesium Ion with d-Ribose and myo-Inositol

Abstract

The novel cesium chloride-D-ribose complex (CsCl·C5H10O5; Cs-R) and cesium chloride-myo-inositol complex (CsCl·C6H12O6; Cs-I) have been synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction and FTIR, FIR, THz, and Raman spectroscopy. Cs(+) is eight-coordinated to three chloride ions, O1 and O2 from one D-ribose molecule, O1 from another D-ribose molecule, and O4 and O5 from the third D-ribose molecule in Cs-R. For one D-ribose molecule, the oxygen atom O1 in the ring is coordinated to two cesium ions as an oxygen bridge, O2 is cocoordinated with O1 to one of the two cesium ions, and O4 and O5 are coordinated to the third cesium ion, respectively. O3 does not coordinate to metal ions and only takes part in forming hydrogen bonds. One chloride ion is connected to three cesium ions. Thus, a complicated structure of Cs-D-ribose forms. For Cs-I, Cs(+) is 10-coordinated to three chloride ions, O1 and O2 from one myo-inositol molecule, O3 and O4 from another myo-inositol molecule, O5 and O6 from the third myo-inositol molecule, and O6 from the fourth myo-inositol molecule. One metal ion is connected to four ligands, and one myo-inositol is coordinated to four Cs(+) ions, which is also a complicated coordination structure. Crystal structure results, FTIR, FIR, THz, and Raman spectra provide detailed information on the structure and coordination of hydroxyl groups to metal ions in the cesium chloride-D-ribose and cesium chloride-myo-inositol complexes.

Metal-dependent inhibition of amyloid fibril formation: synergistic effects of cobalt–tannic acid networks

“…The AuNP@MPN were analyzed using synchrotron THz/FIR spectroscopy, which can provide information on metal-organic bonds and hydration structures. 43,44 As observed from Fig. S15, all AuNP@MPNs had peaks at ~60 and ~50 cm −1 .…”

Discrimination of chiral copper(ii) complexes upon binding of galactonoamidine ligands

“…16,17 More details and additional reports including complex formation between carbohydrates and transition metal or lanthanide ions may be found elsewhere. 11,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] In this context, we disclose here for the first time a study to evaluate the coordination between a putative transition state analog of the glycoside hydrolysis and metal complexes. The assemblies are characterized by spectrophotometric titrations, isothermal titration calorimetry, CD spectroscopy and DFT methods.…”

Osmolyte cooperation affects turgor dynamics in plants

“…In light of the NMR results and by reviewing the crystal structures of similar complexes in the literature 33 34 , we postulated the osmolyte supramolecular structures shown in Fig. 1c , in which water molecules saturate all eight positions of the classic coordination sphere of K + 33 34 .…”
