The new manganese（Ⅱ） coordination compound, [Mn（Cl）2（L）2]（1, L = 11-fluorodipyrido[3,2-a:2?,3?-c]phenazine）, has been achieved under hydrothermal conditions. The structure of compound 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 8.419（2）, b = 12.286（2）, c = 28.451（6） ?, β = 95.889（3）°, V =2927.5（10） ?3, Z = 4, C36 H16 MnF2 Cl2 N8, Mr = 724.41, Dc = 1.644 g/cm3, F（000） = 1460, μ（Mo Ka）= 0.691 mm-1, R = 0.0445 and wR = 0.0982. Adjacent compounds are stacked by one type of π-πinteraction among L ligands to generate a 1D supramolecular chain. Further, the 1D supramolecular chains are stacked by another type of π-π interaction among L ligands to give a 2D supramolecular layer. Moreover, the C-F···π interactions between the carbon atom of the L ligand and the pyrazine ring of the adjacent L ligand further stabilize the supramolecular layer of 1. In addition, natural bond orbital（NBO） analysis has been calculated by the B3LYP/LANL2DZ method, which shows obvious covalent interaction between the coordinated atoms and Mn（Ⅱ） ion.

Genomic structure analysis of SNC6, a progesterone-receptor associated protein gene, and cloning and characterization of its 5＇-flanking region

Objective: To analyze the genomic structure of SNC6, a progesterone\|receptor associated protein gene and its regulatory elements in its 5'\|flanking region. Methods: Genomic sequence from GenBank database (accession number: Z98048) covering the whole SNC6 gene was used to analyze the genomic structure of SNC6 and design primers for PCR amplification of its 5'\|flanking region. A 1894 bp fragment of the 5'\|flanking region \{(-1814\} to +75) was cloned by PCR using genomic DNA from a healthy donor peripheral blood lymphocyte as template. This fragment, as well as 3 shorter derivative fragments (1423 bp, 632 bp and 416 bp, which correspond to -1344 to +75, -552 to +75 and -337 to +75 respectively), were subcloned into pGL2 series luciferase reporter vectors. These constructs were introduced into colorectal cancer cell line SW620 for transient expression of reporter gene and luciferase activities were measured. Results: The genomic structure analysis showed there are 12 exons for SNC6 gene, which spans 32017 bp (nt71529 to nt39513 in Z98048 sequence). All transfected SW620 cells with the above 5\|flanking region\|containing constructs showed luciferase activities. The highest luciferase activities were measured in transfected cells with vectors containing 1894 bp fragments, and the lowest luciferase activities were measured in transfected cells with vectors containing 416 bp fragments. Luciferase activities were higher in transfected cells with vectors containing 632 bp fragments than that in transfected cells with vectors containing 1423 bp fragments. Conclusion: The basic transcription\|promoting element (promoter) for SNC6 expression resides between 0 to -337, and two transcription\|enhancing elements (enhancer) resides between -337 to -552 and -1344 to -1814, whereas one transcription\|inhibiting element (silencer) exists between -552 to -1344.

The title Mn（Ⅱ） coordination polymer,poly{[heptaaqua-（μ4-bi-phenyl-3,3？,5,5？-tetracarboxylate）-bimanganese（Ⅱ）] pentahydrate},[Mn_2（bpta）（H_2O）_7]_n·5n H_2O（I）,is crystallized from a mixture of biphenyl-3,3？,5,5？-tetracarboxylic acid（H_4bpta） and MnCl_2·4H_2O in waterethanol under room temperature. Its asymmetric unit consists of one and two halves of crystallographically independent Mn（Ⅱ） cations,one fully deprotonated H4 bpta ligand,seven coordinated water molecules and five solvent water as guest molecules. In I,each Mn（Ⅱ） atom is octahedrally coordinated by six oxygen atoms from bpta^（4-） anions and coordinated water molecules. In the Mn（Ⅱ） cations,one half Mn（Ⅱ） ion of them located at a 2-fold axis generating a trinuclear [Mn_3（H_2O）_2（RCOO）_2] linker by μ1,1-O（water） and μ1,3-O,O？（carboxylate） bridges and another half Mn（Ⅱ） ion with an inversion is a mononuclear linker. These neighbouring trinuclear and mononuclear Mn（Ⅱ） cations are linked together by biphenyl-3,3？,5,5？-tetracarboxylates to form a three-dimensional framework with a（42.84） topology of a（4,4）-connected net,in which the positions of the trinuclear [Mn_3（H_2O）_2（R-COO）_2] linker as a 4-connector linking four bpta^（4-） ligands in I reproduce an eagle-shaped arrangement. The polymeric structure exhibits a water channel with an accessible void of 797.1 ？~3,amounting to 15.7% of the total unit-cell volume. Each of the cavities in the network is occupied by solvent water molecules.

A penta coordinated Cu(II) complex with mixed ligands 4,4′ bipyridine (4,4′ bpy) and 2 pyrazine 5 carboxylate anion (2 pzc), \[Cu(4,4′ bpy)(2 pzc)(H 2 O)\]ClO 4 ·H 2 O (1), has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 /n with a =0 82996(2) nm, b =1 58156(5) nm, c =1 53837(1) nm, β =103 536(2)°, V =1 96322(8) nm 3 , M r =478 30, Z =4, D c =1 618 g/cm 3 , final R = 0 0544 and wR =0 1487. The Structure of 1 indicates that the central Cu(II) atom is penta coordinated by two N atoms from two 4,4′ bpy ligands, and one N atom and one oxygen atom of the 2 pzc ligand in the equatorial plane, and one oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule at the axial position. The coordination geometry of Cu(II) atom could be considered as a slightly distorted square pyramidal environment. The 4,4′ bpy ligands bridge the Cu(II) centers to form a one dimensional chain, and 2 pzc acts as a terminal chelated ligand, and π…π interaction between the pyrazine rings of 2 pzc ligands of adjacent chains links the chains into a 2D sheet. Furthermore, the hydrogen bonds among the oxygen atoms of the uncoordinated water molecules and the N atoms and O atoms of 2 pzc ligands and the oxygen atoms of the coordinated water molecules link the sheets into the ultimate 3D network of complex 1.
