Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title anhydrate compound, (NH4)2[VO(C3H2O4)2(H2O)], consists of two independent complex anions and four ammonium cations. In the complex anions, the VIV atoms are each coordinated by two malonate ligands, one water mol-ecule and one oxide O atom in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The equatorial plane is formed by the malonate O atoms, while the axial positions are occupied by water and oxide O atoms. The difference between the two independent complexes is the relative conformation of the malonate ligands. The two ligands in one complex anion are in a syn conformation, while in the other they adopt an anti conformation. In the crystal, the complex anions inter-act with the counter-cations and adjacent anions through O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Stacks of alternating layers consisting of either anti or syn isomers, formed with the aid of the hydrogen bonding, are observed. DFT calculations for the anti and syn isomers show a similar thermodynamic stability to each other. The crystal used for this analysis was an inversion twin with the ratio of the twin components being 0.270 (13):0.730 (13).

Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation (MDS)

Alpha-synucleins are small proteins that are believed to restrict the mobility of synpatic vesicles and inhibit neurotransmitter release. Aggregation of these proteins have been linked to several types of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease. Here is the latest research on α-synuclein aggregation.
