Hydrogen bonding and weak interaction forces affect crystal stacking. Crown-ether-based host-guest inclusion compounds with hydrogen bonding and weak intermolecular interaction forces deserve our attention. In addition, Xiong and co-workers have proposed a molecular design strategy of H/F substitution. Based on this H/F substitution strategy, it is possible to develop halogen substitution, also known as the halogenation effect. Here, using benzylamine as an organic parent, the molecular design strategy of the halogenation effect was used. That is, halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br and I) were used to replace H atoms at the para site of the aromatic ring, and four halogenated benzylamine compounds were obtained, namely, 4-fluorobenzylaminium di(methanesulfonyl)amidate-18-crown-6 (1/1), C₇H₉FN⁺·C₂H₆NO₄S₂^-·C₁₂H₂₄O₆ or [(4-FBA)(18-crown-6)][DMSA], 1; 4-chlorobenzylaminium di(methanesulfonyl)amidate-18-crown-6 (1/1), C₇H₉ClN⁺·C₂H₆NO₄S₂^-·C₁₂H₂₄O₆ or [(4-ClBA)(18-crown-6)][DMSA], 2; 4-bromobenzylaminium di(methanesulfonyl)amidate-18-crown-6 (1/1), C₇H₉BrN⁺·C₂H₆NO₄S₂^-·C₁₂H₂₄O₆ or [(4-BrBA)(18-crown-6)][DMSA], 3; and 4-iodobenzylaminium di(methanesulfonyl)amidate-18-crown-6 (1/1), C₇H₉IN⁺·C₂H₆NO₄S₂^-·C₁₂H₂₄O₆ or [(4-IBA)(18-crown-6)][DMSA], 4.

However, with respect to structure analysis, only limited information is available on this class of nucleosides. In this study, the single-crystal X-ray structure of 8-ethynyl-2'-deoxyisoguanosine, C₁₂H₁₃N₅O₄·C₁₂H₁₃N₅O₄·2H₂O (1), has been investigated. In the crystal of 1, the N1-H and N3-H tautomers exist together. They are connected by O3'-H to O3' hydrogen bonds. The conformation at the glycosylic bond is syn for both tautomeric forms. This conformation is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds from N3 or N3-H of the pyrimidine ring to the 5'-OH group of the sugar residue. For both tautomers, the sugar conformation adopts a C2'-endo-C3'-exo twist (²T₃; S-type), with P = 165.0 and 163.9°. A synclinal orientation is observed around the C4-C5' bond. Crystal packing is controlled by a tridentate purine-purine pair of 8-ethynyl-2'-deoxyisoguanosine that is enabled by a tautomeric shift of the proton from N1 to N3 of the nucleobase. Additional stability to the 3D network is contributed by water molecules connecting different layers in the solid state. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed confirming the existence of the purine-purine pair and the impact of the water molecules on hydrogen bonding.

Its advantages are best demonstrated by new direct electron detectors capable of fast (kilohertz) event-based electron counting (EBEC). This strategy minimizes the inaccuracies introduced by coincidence loss (CL) and promises rapid determination of accurate structures. We used the Direct Electron Apollo camera to leverage EBEC technology for MicroED data collection. Given its ability to count single electrons, the Apollo collects high-quality MicroED data from organic small-molecule crystals illuminated with incident electron beam flux densities as low as 0.01-0.045 e^-/Ų/s. Under even the lowest flux density (0.01 e^-/Ų/s) condition, fast EBEC data produced ab initio structures of a salen ligand (268 Da) and biotin (244 Da). Each structure was determined from a 100° wedge of data collected from a single crystal in as few as 50 s, with a delivered fluence of only ∼0.5 e^-/Ų. Fast EBEC data collected with a fluence of 2.25 or 3.33 e^-/Ų also facilitated a 1.5 Å structure of thiostrepton (1665 Da). While refinement of these structures appeared unaffected by CL, a CL adjustment applied to EBEC data further improved the distribution of intensities measured from the salen ligand and biotin crystals. However, CL adjustment only marginally improved the refinement of their corresponding structures, signaling the already high counting accuracy of detectors with counting rates in the kilohertz range.

Single crystals of sufficient size and quality were recovered from a starting mixture with an Rb₂O:CaO:SiO₂ molar ratio of 2:1:3. The educts were confined in a lid-covered platinum crucible and gradually cooled from 1050 °C at a rate of 0.3 °C min^-1 to 800 °C before being finally quenched in air to ambient conditions. The crystal structure was investigated at -80 and 15 °C from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, with structure determination performed using direct methods. The compound was found to be of orthorhombic symmetry, belonging to the space group Pmmn (No. 59), with a = 5.7363 (6), b = 13.8532 (12), c = 9.9330 (10) Å, V = 789.34 (13) ų and Z = 4 (at 15 °C). The final refinement calculations at ambient temperature converged at R1 = 0.030 and wR2 = 0.076 for 773 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The silicate anion is based on pyrosilicate units of composition [Si₂O₇]^6- with point-group symmetry m (C_s). Charge compensation is achieved by the incorporation of rubidium and calcium cations distributed among a total of five independent sites within the asymmetric unit. Two of the nontetrahedrally coordinated cation sites (M4 and M5) are exclusively occupied by calcium cations, which are surrounded by six O atoms in the form of octahedra or trigonal prisms, respectively. The rubidium cations on the M1-M3 sites show more complex coordination environments. The M2 site, for example, is characterized by a tricapped trigonal prism polyhedron. Notably, the M3 site exhibits a 50% population of Ca²⁺ and Rb⁺, respectively. The compound shows closer structural resemblances with K₂Ca₂Si₂O₇ and can be derived from a hexagonal aristotype with space-group symmetry P6₃/mmc by displacements of the atoms.
