Three new crystalline compounds 1-3 were successfully obtained by the reactions of 3,3＇-dimethoxy-6,6＇-dimethyl-2,2＇-bipyridine ligand（dmbp） with the corresponding Cu（Ⅰ） salts.Crystal data for 1：orthorhombic Pbca,a = 18.5858（12）,b = 8.1821（5）,c = 20.6066（13） ,V = 3133.7（3） 3,Z = 8,Dc = 1.843 g/cm3,F（000） = 1696,μ = 3.366 mm-1,the final R = 0.0223 and wR = 0.0542.Crystal data for 2：Orthorhombic Pbca,a = 18.7883（16）,b = 8.3249（7）,c = 19.0294（17） ,V = 2976.4（4） 3,Z = 8,Dc = 1.731 g/cm3,F（000） = 1552,μ = 4.154 mm-1,the final R = 0.0279 and wR = 0.0680.Crystal data for 3：monoclinic P21/c,a = 13.812（10）,b = 9.910（7）,c = 23.444（17） ,β = 104.3350（10）°,V = 3090（4） 3,Z = 4,Dc = 1.476 g/cm3,F（000） = 1408,μ = 1.588 mm-1,the final R = 0.0479 and wR = 0.1081.The results of X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that C14H16ICuN2O2（1） and C14H16BrCuN2O2（2） are isostructural compounds with the dimers connected by C-H···halogen hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional（3D） supramolecular network in 1 and a two-dimensional（2D） sheet structure in 2,respectively,while the mononuclear complex C28H32Cl2Cu2N4O4（3） is ionic.In 3,the [Cu（dmbp）2]＋ cations and [ClCuCl]-anions are connected by C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds to form a one-dimensional（1D） chain along the a axis.Therefore,in the three complexes,the C-H···halogen hydrogen bonds dominate their crystal structures.Additionally,The UV luminescent properties of complexes 1-3 were investigated.

Two New Organic Supramolecular Complexes Based on 2,3,6,7-Tetrahydroxyl-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene and 4,4′-Bipyridine or 4,4′-Bipyridinylethane

Two new organic supramolecular cocrystal complexes C18H18O4·C10H8N2（I） and C18H18O4·C12H10N2（II）（C18H18O4 = 2,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyl-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene（LH4）, C10H8N2 = 4,4＇-bipyridine（bpy） and C12H10N2 = 4,4＇-bipyridinylethane（bpe）） have been obtained by mixing LH4 with corresponding bpy or bpe ligand. The two complexes have been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis, elemental analysis and IR analysis. Compound I crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma with a = 9.7078（4）, b = 22.4974（10）, c = 20.6272（9） V = 4505.0（3）3, Mr = 454.51, Dc. = 1.340 g·cm^-3, μ = 0.09 mm-1, F（000） = 1920, Z = 8, R = 0.0503 and wR = 0.1360. Compound II crystallizes in monoclinic C2/c with a = 29.944（6）, b = 9.820（2）, c = 22.643（5） , V = 5048.4（18）3, Mr = 480.54, Dc. = 1.265 g cm^–3, μ = 0.084 mm^–1, F（000） = 2032, Z = 8, R = 0.0548 and wR = 0.1600. X-ray single-crystal structure analysis shows that two-dimensional（2D） layer supramolecular structures are formed through hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions in the two complexes. IR analysis also indicates that there are only associated hydroxyl groups in the two complexes.

Theoretical Study on the Structures and Properties of Phenobarbital Imprinted Polymers

Recently, the investigation of novel molecularly imprinted polymers（MIPs） has attracted a lot of interest and becomes a fascinating field. The phenobarbital（PHN） was taken as an imprinted molecule and the 2-vinyl-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine（VDAT） was considered as a functional monomer in this study. The geometry optimization, natural bond orbital（NBO） charge, and molecular electrostatic potential（MEP） of PHN and VDAT were studied at the M062 X level belonging to one of the hybrid density functional theories. Furthermore, we discussed the bonding conditions of PHN molecular imprinted polymers（PHN-MIPs） via the hydrogen bond length and atoms in molecules（AIM） theory. The rebinding property of PHN-MIPs was also researched. The results of MEP and NBO charge analysis were coincident. The stability property was excellent when the ratio of PHN and VDAT was 1：4. Except the classic hydrogen bonds, non-classical hydrogen bonds also existed in the imprinted polymers. By simulating the rebinding energies between the pentobarbital（PNT）, barbital（BAR）, and PHN-MIPs after the elution of PHN, the rebinding property of PHN-MIPs to PHN was excellent when PNT and BAR existed all at once. This research can provide theoretical reference for the synthesis and characterization of novel PHN-MIPs.

Objective:To isolate and characterize the cytotoxic compounds from Diospyros quercina(Baill.)G.E.Schatz&Lowry(Ebenaceae).Methods:An ethno-botanical survey was conducted in the south of Madagascar from July to August 2010.Bio-guided fractionation assay was carried out on the root bark of Diospyros quercina,using cytotoxicity bioassay on murine P388 leukemia cell lines as model.The structures of the cytotoxic compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.Results:Biological experiments resulted in the isolation of three bioactive pure compounds(named TR-21,TR-22,and TR-23)which exhibited very good in vitro cytotoxic activities with the IC_(50)values of(0.017 5±0.0060)μg/mL,(0.089±0.005)μg/mL and(1.027±0.070)μg/mL respectively.Thus,they support the claims of traditional healers and suggest the possible correlation between the chemical composition of this plant and its wide use in Malagasy folk medicine to treat cancer.Conclusions:The ability of isolated compounds in this study to inhibit cell growth may represent a rational explanation for the use of Diospyros quercina root bark in treating cancer by Malagasy traditional healers.Further studies are,therefore,necessary to evaluate the in vivo antineoplastic activity of these cytotoxic compounds as effective anticancer drugs.
