Structure of a new crystal form of 2- ([3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] amino)benzoic acid (flufenamic acid)

C14Ht0F3NO2, P2.Jc, a = 12.523 (4), b = 7.868(6), c = 12.874 (3)A, fl = 95.2 (2) ° , O,,, = 1.47 (4), D e = 1.47 Mg m -3, Z = 4. Final R = 0.074 for 2255 observed reflections. The carboxyl group and the phenyl ring bearing the carboxyl group are nearly coplanar whereas the two phenyl rings are inclined with respect to each other at 52.8 ° . The difference between the two polymorphs of flufenamic acid lies in the geometrical disposition of the [3-(trifluoromethyl)- phenyl]amino moiety with respect to the benzoic acid moiety. As in other fenamate structures, the carboxyl group and the imino N atom are connected through an intramolecular hydrogen bond; also, pairs of centrosymmetrically related molecules are connected through hydrogen bonds involving carboxyl groups.

Structural adaptability in the system Bi2O3 - WO3 : Higher members of the homologous series Bi2WnO3n+3

The ultramicrostructure of phases with n = 1, 2 and 3 in the hypothetical series Bi2WnO3n+3 has been investigated by high resolution electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray emission spectroscopy. For n = 1 and 2, well ordered phases with the predicted compositions have been obtained, but for n = 3, a severely disordered assemblage containing intergrowths of the two known structures and strips of the n = 3 member is produced. No evidence for ordered structures with n > 2 has yet been obtained.

Is 3'-nucleotide rigid?

Conformational analysis of nucleic acids and polynucleotides is far more complex than that of proteins and polypeptides, due to five single bond rotations in addition to the sugar puckerings in the monomer. Sundaralingam1 proposed the concept of the 'rigid' nucleotides from analysis of crystal structure data, with the flexibility allowed only about the phosphodiester bonds. However, the crystal structure of deoxyguanosine-5'−phosphate2,3 indicates at gt conformation about the C-4'−C-5' bond against gg in a conformationally rigid nudeotide1. Jack et al. 4 considered the flexibility of nucleotides in tRNA about the C-4'−C-5' bond, thereby introducing the concept of 'non-rigid' ribonucleotides. Conformational flexibility of the f uranose ring in DNA and RNA and their energetics using classical and quantum chemical methods have been reported5−8. We have examined the flexibility of 3'-nucleotides. alpha, the most important of the conformational parameters defining the 3'-end of a nucleotide unit9, has a value in the range 195°−270° in all the 3'-nucleotides, dinucleoside monophosphates and higher oligomers which have been surveyed. A survey of the proposed structures of polyribonudeotides10,11 also shows the values of a to be greater than 200°. However, the structures proposed for B-DNA by Arnott and Hukins12,13 and D-DNA by Arnott et al. 14 have values of alpha of 155° and 141° respectively, much lower than the lowest observed value. The structure for B-DNA has two strong, short contacts (C-2'...OP-1 = 2.64 Å and HC-2"...OP-1 = 1.79 Å) which lead to an energetically unfavourable conformation. Hence, it is of interest to investigate whether, by allowing flexibility to the sugar moiety in the nucleotide unit, it is possible to make the structure energetically favourable. Here, conformational energy calculations were carried out to determine the range of alpha which would give rise to energetically favoured conformations with different sugar puckerings. Our analysis has shown that the theoretically obtained range is nearly the same as the preferred range in crystals, indicating the flexibility of the 3'-nucleotides.
