  MODERN STRUCTURAL CHEMISTRY

  LINUS PAULING, Director, Gates and Crellin Laboratories, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.

  It is with a deep and sincere feeling of appreciation that I receive this great recognition of my work, the Willard Gibbs Medal of the Chicago Section of the American Chemical Society. The investigations which I have carried on, with the aid of many able collaborators during the past 24 years, have covered a broad field of science, including parts of physics, mineralogy, chemistry, and biology; but, though varied in nature, they have had a common feature -- an emphasis on structure -- and they may all be considered as being comprised in the general subject of modern structural chemistry.

  Structural chemistry -- the determination of the structure of chemical substances and the explanation of their properties in terms of structure -- is an old science, as old as chemistry itself. We remember Lucretius, who 2,000 years ago wrote about "honey, with smooth, round molecules which roll easily over the tongue, whereas wormwood and biting centuary consist of molecules which are hooked and sharp"; and Lomonosov, whose explanations of the properties of solids, liquids, and gases in terms of moving molecules were boldly imaginative 200 years ago, and yet were, we now know, very close to the truth; and Dalton, who first pointed out that the weight relations of chemical reactions have a simple interpretation in terms of the combination of atoms; and Avogadro and Cannizzaro, who showed that even in an element two or more atoms may be bonded together to form a stable molecule; and Frankland, Couper, and Kekule, who developed the concept of valence -- the representation of the combining power of an atom by a small integer; and again Kekule, with his strikingly simplifying picture of the benzene molecule as a ring of six carbon atoms, each with its attached hydrogen atom; and van't Hoff and le Bel, with their explanation of the right- and left-handedness of some substances, first discovered by Pasteur in tartaric acid, as resulting from the tetrahedral arrangement of the four valence bonds of a carbon atom; and Werner, who showed that the spatial arrangement of bonds determines the properties of many substances other than the compounds of carbon, and that an atom such as platinum may, in its quadrivalent state hold six atoms or groups about it at the corners of an octahedron, or, in its bivalent state, hold four atoms or groups at the corners of a square, rather than a tetrahedron; and we remember, as the last of the great structural chemists of the past, Gilbert Newton Lewis, whose identification, in 1916, of the chemical bond between two atoms with a pair of electrons held jointly by the two atoms, vulcanizing them together, initiated the period of theoretical clarification and precise experimental investigation which has in a few decades changed the old, qualitative structural chemistry into modern structural chemistry.

  Modern structural chemistry differs from the older science in being precise -- quantitative, instead of qualitative; lucid, instead of vague. It is not longer enough to say that the chloroform molecule is tetrahedral in structure -- we now say that the four bonds are directed almost, but not quite, toward the corners of a regular tetrahedron, three of the bond angles (Cl-C-Cl) having the value 111°, slightly larger than the regular tetrahedral angle 109= 28', and the other three (Cl-C-H) 108°, and that each of the three chlorine atoms is 1.76 Å. from the carbon atom, and the hydrogen atom is 1.09 Å. from the carbon atom, and that the molecule may oscillate with certain frequencies, and that the stretching of one carbon-chlorine bond has a certain effect on the other bonds; and so on: and we use this information in discussing not only the simply physical and chemical properties of the substance but also for the calculation of its entropy and free energy and hence of the equilibrium constants for its reactions.

  Period of Development

  We have seen, during our lives, the development of modern structural chemistry. I became deeply interested in molecular structure and the nature of the chemical bond in 1919, when I first read Lewis' 1916 paper and Irving Langmuir's papers on this subject, and I began experimental work in the field in 1922. At that time, only a quarter of a century ago, there was not known the distance between the atoms in the molecules of any gaseous substance, nor, indeed, of any organic substance whatever (except diamond); it was not known that the two atoms in the hydrogen molecule are 0.74 Å. apart, the two in the nitrogen molecule are 1.094 Å. apart, and in the chlorine molecule 1.98 Å. apart. These values were determined, by the methods of band spectroscopy, during the next few years. In 1922 the only precise interatomic metrical information at hand was that which had been obtained since 1913 by the x-ray investigation of crystals, all inorganic except diamond -- it was known that the carbon-carbon distance in diamond is 1.54 Å., but it was not known that the carbon-carbon single bond in other substances. The first organic molecule for which a structure determination was made was hexamethylene tetramine, crystals of which were studied by Dickinson and Raymond in 1923; but it was not until 1929, when the technique of electron diffraction by gas molecules was developed by Mark and Wierl, that it became possible to determine the interatomic distances in a large number of organic molecules.

  Methods

  The methods of modern structural chemistry are largely physical in nature: they include molecular spectroscopy, the determination of the structure of crystals by the diffraction of x-rays, the determination of the configuration of gas molecules by the diffraction of electrons, the measurement of the electric dipole moments of molecules, the measurement of magnetic moments and of diamagnetic susceptibilities, the interpretation of heat capacity, entropy, and other thermodynamic quantities, and the application of theory, especially quantum mechanics. Each of these methods, in addition to providing the specific detailed information characteristic of it, has let to significant additions to our body of general chemical knowledge. Molecular spectroscopy not only has given us a great mass of data about moments of inertia, oscillational frequencies, electronic energy levels, etc., but also has verified, for example, the surmise made by Langmuir that the oxygen atom of nitrous oxide is at one end of the molecule and not in the middle.

  The x-ray method proved in 1925 that the azide ion has the linear structure of N N N^- and not the cyclic structure [Drawing of cyclic structure of azide ion]; and a few years later a linear structure was verified also for the azide group in a covalent azide (methyl azide) by the electron diffraction method. It was the x-ray study of ergosterol and calciferol by Bernal which led to the assignment of the correct chemical structures to the sex hormones and vitamin D by Rosenheim and King and Wieland and Dane; and recently we have seen the great power of this method exemplified in a striking manner by its use by Dorothy Crowfoot and Barbara Rogers-Low in the discovery of the β-lactam configuration for penicillin, for which the methods of the organic chemist had indicated an azlactone structure. I believe that, with the increasing power of x-ray diffraction methods, this technique will become a more and more useful adjunct to chemical methods for the elucidation of the structure of natural products.

  Formulas and Structures Revealed

  Another use of x-rays is in the assignment of chemical formulas to substances so complex that the method of chemical analysis fails to yield an unambiguous answer -- for example, in this way the formula Al₁₃Si₅O₂₀(OH,F)₁₈Cl was determined for the mineral zunyite, and (NH₄)₆-Mo₇O₂₄·4H₂O for ammonium paramolybdate. It has been reported that with only micrograms of the materials available Zachariasen was able to establish the composition of many compounds of plutonium by the x-ray diffraction method.

  The study of the patterns obtained by the diffraction of electrons by gas molecules has led not only to the determination of interatomic distances in many molecules of known chemical structure but also in a number of cases to the discovery of the correct structure or the verification of a structure about which there was some doubt. Donohue, Humphrey, and Schomaker were able in this way to prove the spiropentane structure for the hydrocarbon C₅H₈ obtained by Murray and Stevenson by the debromination of pentaerythrityl bromide with zinc dust. The o-biphenylene structure suggested for Lothrop's hydrocarbon C₁₂H₁₀ by its method of synthesis was verified by its electron diffraction pattern and also by an x-ray crystal structure determination. The doubt which had long existed about the structure of pirylene, C₅H₆, was finally dispelled by the electron diffraction investigation which showed it to be 1-methyl-2-vinyl acetylene. Ethylene ozonide has been shown to have the oxide-peroxide ring structure. A number of similar studies of inorganic compounds have also been made.

  New Techniques Adopted

  From time to time new physical techniques are found to be so useful to the organic chemist that they are incorporated by him into his collection of standard procedures, and become a part of organic chemistry. This has occurred in recent years with absorption spectroscopy. The value of the absorption spectra of complex organic substances in the ultraviolet and visible regions for the purposes of characterization and of the identification of certain structural features, especially of conjugated systems, has been strikingly demonstrated during the past 20 years by the work on vitamin D and other sterols and on vitamin A and the carotenoids. A very interesting new application of spectroscopic methods has been made recently by Zechmeister and his collaborators in the study of the cis-trans isomerism of carotenoids. It has been shown that the intensity of the principal absorption band is greater for the all-trans isomer of a carotenoid than for the cis isomers, and this property has been used for the reliable identification of the all-trans isomer, which occurs in the near ultraviolet; by the consideration of details of the spectra, especially this "cis-peak", Zechmeister has made tentative assignments of configurations to many of the carotenoid isomers. An especially interesting isomer is prolycopene, which occurs in the "tangerine" tomato, giving it its bright orange color; this isomer is thought to have the cis configuration about six of its double bonds. A single gene in the tomato plant determines whether prolycopene will be formed in the fruit, or all-trans lycopene, which gives the red color to ordinary tomatoes.

  Physiological Activity of Chemical Substances

  The field of application of modern structural chemistry which seems to me to have the greatest promise for the future is that of the explanation of the physiological activity of chemical substances. Little success has resulted from the efforts of chemists and physiologists to correlate the physiological properties of substances and their ordinary chemical properties, the properties which depend upon breaking the chemical bonds within molecules and forming new chemical bonds. I believe that usually the specific physiological properties of substances are determined not by these strong intramolecular forces, but instead by the weak forces -- van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds -- which operate between molecules, and that the understanding of physiological activity will be consequent to the detailed consideration of these forces in relation to the size, shape, and structure of the interacting molecules. Strong evidence for this point of view has already been obtained through the study of the behavior of systems of antibodies, antigens, and haptens; and I am confident that, as our knowledge of the structure not only of simple molecules but also of proteins and other complex constituents of organisms increases, we shall in time achieve an insight into physiological phenomena which will serve as an effective guide in biological and medical research, and will contribute to the solution of such great practical problems as those presented by cancer and cardiovascular disease.

  THE INFLUENCE OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE ON BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

  By Linus Pauling

  Gates and Crellin Laboratories of Chemistry

  California Institute of Technology

  Pasadena, California

  *Presidential Address, Pacific Division of American Association for the Advancement of Science, delivered at the 27th Annual Meeting, University of Nevada, Reno, June 19, 1946.

  Our effort to understand nature consists of a search for structure, the spatial interrelations of the constituents of a material system, and for function, which is the mode of action of structure, or the change of structure with time. And we shall not have achieved an understanding of biological phenomena until we have obtained complete knowledge of the structure of organisms in terms of their fundamental constituents, atomic nuclei and electrons.

  In the field of chemistry the search for structure has led to more and more precise knowledge of the way in which atoms interact with one another to form molecules and crystals. The qualitative concepts of valence bonds between atoms, structural formulas of molecules, the tetrahedral carbon atom, cis and trans isomers have been refined by a clarifying theory of chemical combination and by precise experimental information about interatomic distances and spatial configuration for hundreds of molecules and crystals. The detailed structural mechanisms of many chemical reactions have been discovered — we understand the process of the approach of a hydrogen molecule and an iodine molecule to form an activated complex with trapezoidal configuration, which may then dissociate into two molecules of hydrogen iodide; and we understand the process of the Walden inversion of the configuration of a carton atom, as a hydroxyl ion attacks the tetrahedral molecule at the center of one of its faces, and forms with the groups at the corners of this face a new tetrahedron to the center of which the carbon atom moves, as the fourth group becomes a free anion.

  There has been developed during the last twenty-five years a good general understanding of the structure of atoms in terms of nuclei and electrons, and investigators in this field seem to agree that there remain no important general principles to be discovered. A great deal is known also about the electronic structure of molecules and crystals, but there is still much to be discovered: in particular, the empirical and theoretical knowledge about intermetallic compounds and other metallic systems is fragmentary, and a great amount of progress will have to be made before it can be claimed that an understanding of the structure of these systems has been attained.

  The structure of atomic nuclei remains to be discovered. The constituents of nuclei are presumably protons and neutrons — but what they are doing in the nuclei, how they interact with one another, we do not know. The physicists are attacking this problem with such vigor that we may expect that within perhaps two decades the present empirical generalizations of limited validity will be replaced by a complete theory of nuclear structure. Moreover, progress in structural biology will not have to await the development of this theory, since there is no evidence that the properties of biological systems depend in any way on the detailed internal structures of nuclei.

  The search for structure in biology — the structure of organisms in terms of cells, of cells in terms of membranes, cytoplasmic framework, protoplasm, chromosomes — has been thoroughly prosecuted throughout the dimensional region down to the limit of the resolving power of the visible microscope, about 10000 A., and during the last few years some structural information about the region between 10000 A. and 100 A. has been obtained by the use of the electron microscope. The structures of many simple molecules, of size up to about 10 A. in linear dimensions, have been accurately determined by the diffraction of x-rays and electrons. There remains the region between 10 A. and 100 A. This region must be thoroughly investigated in order that we may obtain complete information about the structure of living organisms: the basis for great progress in biology and medicine will be laid only by our obtaining a real understanding of biological function, and this understanding of function can be obtained only from detailed knowledge of the structure of the organisms in terms of the atoms which compose them.

  What the experimental methods will be by which structure in the region between 10 A. and 100 A. will be determined cannot be predicted. The techniques of electron microscopy, which without doubt will be further refined, will probably continue to be most important in the study of structures with linear dimensions between 100 A. and 10000 A., and may well also be of great value below 100 A. The application of diffraction methods to determining the detailed atomic structure of very large molecules will he extremely difficult, hut these methods are very powerful, and the importance of the problems of biology and medicine will justify the great amount of work involved in their application to the complex materials of biological significance. Some help can be expected from the use of ultracentrifuges and other instruments, and the measurement of magnetic, and electrical properties; but let us hope that there will be discovered a new and powerful experimental method especially suited to the determination of structure in the 10 Å. to 100 Å. range.

  A most immediate problem is that of the determination of the structure of proteins. These substances may well be described as the most important of all constituents of living matter, occurring in all cells, as framework material, constituents of protoplasm, enzymes, hormones, oxygen carriers, antibodies — and we have astoundingly little knowledge of their structure. It is known from the work of Fischer that the main structural feature of proteins is the polypeptide chain — but the sequence of amino acid residues in the polypeptide chain is not known for any protein, nor even for any good-sized fragment of a protein. The exact numbers of the different amino acid residues comprising the molecule are not known for any protein; the amino-acid analysis which approaches this goal most closely is that recently reported for p-lactoglobulin by Brand and his collaborators. The approximate general configuration of the extended polypeptide chain has been determined by Astbury by the x-ray study of B-keratin and other proteins; but the configuration of folded chains is not known even roughly for any protein. The precise configuration of all of the natural amino acids and of the simpler peptides could be determined (with the application of a good measure of hard work) by the x-ray techniques now at hand; but so far only four such structure determinations (of two amino acids, glycine and alanine, and two peptides, glycylglycine and diketopiperazine) have been reported, all by Corey and other workers in the Gates and Crellin laboratories. One of the first jobs which must be done in the attack on the general atomic structural problem in biology is the determination of the structure of all the natural amino acids, of many peptides, and of some proteins.

  Even though we do not know the detailed atomic structures of proteins and other cell constituents, it has become clear that these structures are of the greatest importance in biological phenomena, and that biological activity is determined by the details of the structure of molecules, even to within 1 Å. or less, and by intermolecular interactions over distances of a few Angstroms, rather than by direct long-range forces. The evidence for this knowledge comes mainly from the specificity of biological phenomena — the substance thiamine does its job as a vitamin, and many organisms will accept no substitute for it; many other vitamins, hormones, enzymes, drugs show similar specificity — the bactericidal or bacteriostatic action of the sulfa drugs and of penicillin depends on precise details of chemical structure — and it has now become clear that this extraordinary specificity, which is far more pronounced than that shown by substances engaging in ordinary chemical reactions, is determined mainly by the exact sizes and shapes of the molecules and by the nature of the weak intermolecular interactions acting over very small distances.

  The field of biology with which I am most familiar is serology, and it is this field which shows the phenomenon of specificity most strikingly. It was shown by Landsteiner and his collaborators that anti-sera have the power to distinguish not only between proteins so closely related that no other method differentiates between them, but also between similar simple haptenic groups of known structure, such as the m-azobenzoic acid group and thep-azobenzoic acid group. Landsteiner's evidence that serological specificity is determined by the detailed atomic structure of the haptenic groups has been supplemented by many experiments carried out in our laboratories in Pasadena during the past six years. We have found that antibodies detect the replacement of a single atom in a hapten by a chemically similar atom one-quarter of an Angstrom larger in radius, that the combining groups of antibodies have a surface configuration which reflects that of the haptenic group of the homologous antigen to within less than one Angstrom, that antibodies contain proton-donating or proton-accepting groups so situated as to form hydrogen bonds with complementary groups in the antigen, and that antibodies to an electrically charged haptenic group contain an electric charge of opposite sign which can be brought near to the charge of the haptenic group. A multitude of experiments on serological precipitation and its inhibition by haptens has made the conclusion inescapable that the specific attraction of antibody and antigen is due to forces acting at distances not of hundreds or tens of Angstroms but of one or two Angstroms, and that the specificity of the attraction is due to a detailed complementariness of structure on an atomic scale.

  There is a strong presumption that in many other biological systems the specificity of interaction is due to the same detailed complementariness of structure. The malonate ion acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme succinic dehydrogenase, and many other enzyme systems are known in which substances closely related in atomic structure to the substrate molecules act as competitive inhibitors. Woods pointed out in 1$^Q that sulfanilamide exerts its bactericidal action by blocking the activity of the closely related essential substance p-aminobenzoic acid. The functioning of thiamine as a vitamin is inhibited by pyrithiamin, the corresponding substance with a pyridine ring in place of the thiazole ring; and many other examples of competitive biological activity of substances closely related in atomic structure are now known.

  As our understanding of the structure of biological systems increases it will become possible to attack the problems of biology and medicine in a more and more straightforward and logical way. Thimann has pointed out that there is some similarity in structure between local anesthetics and acetylcholine, and there is also a structural relation between histamine and the anti-histamine substances investigated by Loew; but in neither case has our understanding of the phenomenon yet become complete enough to permit the confident prediction of more effective substances. The time will soon come, however, when this can be done; and when this time does come we shall enter upon a period of increasingly rapid progress in medicine as well as in biology.
