  • Title: Metal-ion interactions with sugars. Crystal structure and FT-IR study of PrCl3-D-ribose complex.
    Author: Lu Y, Guo J.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 2006 Apr 10; 341(5):683-7. PubMed ID: 16442506.
    Abstract:
    A single-crystal of PrCl3.D-ribose.5H2O was obtained from a methanol-water solution and its structure determined by X-ray crystallography. Two configurations of the complex, as a pair of isomers, were found in the single-crystal in a disordered state, which differs from that reported previously. The ligand of one of the complexes is alpha-D-ribopyranose in the 4C1 conformation, and the ligand of the other is beta-D-ribopyranose in the 1C4 conformation. The alpha:beta anomeric ratio is 54:46. Both ligands of the two isomers provide three hydroxyl groups in an axial-equatorial-axial orientation for coordination. The Pr3+ ion is nine-coordinated, with five Pr-O bonds from water molecules, three Pr-O bonds from the hydroxyl groups of the D-ribopyranose and one Pr-Cl bond from chloride ion. The hydroxyl groups, water molecules, and chloride ions form an extensive hydrogen-bond network. The IR spectral C-C, O-H, C-O, and C-O-H vibrations are shifted in the complex, compared to those in d-ribose, and the IR results are in accord with those obtained from the X-ray diffraction study.
