Abstract
Abstract The ionophoric antibiotic lasalocid acid has been converted to a novel 6-bromohexyl ester (LASBR) and its structure has been determined in the crystal by X-ray diffraction and in solution by NMR and FT-IR methods. In the crystal two symmetry-independent LASBR molecules are present. The structure of LASBR in solution is slightly different because the strongest intramolecular C(1) O⋯H (3)O hydrogen bond in the pseudo-aromatic ring becomes partially broken and a new hydrogen bond between O(4)H and carbonyl group C(13) O is formed. LASBR forms complexes with Li + , Na + and K + cations of exclusively 1:1 stoichiometry. The structures of complexes have been studied and visualized using semi-empirical calculation based on results of spectrometric and spectroscopic investigation. It is demonstrated that in contrast to lasalocid acid the novel ester forms preferential complexes with Li + cation.
