We present and discuss the results of crystallographic and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic analyses of five tetrachloridocuprate(II) complexes to supply a useful tool for the structural characterisation of the [CuCl4]2− moiety in the liquid state, for example in ionic liquids, or in solution. Bis(benzyltriethylammonium)-, bis(trimethylphenylammonium)-, bis(ethyltriphenylphosphonium)-, bis(benzyltriphenylphosphonium)-, and bis(tetraphenylarsonium)tetrachloridocuprate(II) were synthesised and characterised by elemental, IR, EPR and X-ray analyses. The results of the crystallographic analyses show distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry of all [CuCl4]2− anions in the five complexes and prove that all investigated complexes are stabilised by hydrogen bonds of different intensities. Despite the use of sterically demanding ammonium, phosphonium and arsonium cations to obtain the separation of the paramagnetic Cu(II) centres for EPR spectroscopy no hyperfine structure was observed in the EPR spectra but the principal values of the electron Zeeman tensor, g∥ and g⊥, could be determined. With these EPR data and the crystallographic parameters we were able to carry out a correlation study to anticipate the structural situation of tetrachloridocuprates in different physical states. This correlation is in good agreement with DFT calculations.
An asymmetric variant of the dehydro-Diels-Alder (DDA) reaction has been developed and applied in the atropselective synthesis of various (1,5)naphthalenophanes. Whereas the suitability of the photochemically induced DDA (PDDA) was limited, the thermally induced DDA provided the desired product, depending on the chiral auxiliary used and the length of the linker, with nearly perfect stereoselectivity. Furthermore, the mechanism of the DDA was investigated by means of DFT calculations, and a stepwise mechanism involving 1,4-biradicals was suggested.
We have synthesized a set of new unsaturated macrocyclic dithioethers with an increasing number of flexible methylene units 1-7 (Scheme 2) to investigate the correlation between the ring size of these ligands, the chelation effect and the consequences for an efficient PdCl2 coordination. The dithioethers 1-7 and the complex [PdCl2(4)]center dot CHCl3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of 1-7 show that 2-7 are better preorganized chelating ligands for an exocyclic PdCl2 coordination than 1. The chelation effect of 1-7, the orientation of the sulfur atoms and the S center dot center dot center dot S donor distances, are influenced by the flexibility of the methylene units. In this series the unsaturated macrocyclic ligands 5 and 6 are the best chelating ligands for an efficient PdCl2 coordination. Comparative solvent extraction experiments with mn-12S(2)O(2) (mn = maleonitrile) reveal that the low interface activity of the new ligands reduces the extraction rate. However, a comparison with open-chain dithiomaleonitriles shows the impact of the macrocyclic effect of 4 and 5 on the extraction yield.
In the oxidative system (t-BuOCl+NaI) trifluoromethanesulfonamide is regio- and stereoselectively added to only one double bond of cyclopentadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene giving rise to 1,1,1-trifluoro-N-(5-iodocyclopent-2-en-1-yl)methanesulfonamide 7 and trans-N,N'-cyclohex-3-en-1,2-diylbis(1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonamide) 8. The structure of 7 and 8 was determined by X-ray, NMR, and MS. With 1,4-cyclohexadiene, addition to both double bonds occurs with the formation of N,N'-(4-chloro-5-iodocyclohexan-1,2-diyl)bis(1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonamide) 9. Under the action of sodium iodide in acetone, the latter product undergoes halogenophilic attack with the reduction of the CHI group and elimination of HCl to give trans-N,N'-cyclohex-4-en-1,2-diylbis(1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonamide) 10, whose structure was also determined by X-ray analysis. 1,3,5-Cycloheptatriene under these conditions is oxidized to benzaldehyde and does not react with trifluoromethanesulfonamide.
A rare example of in situ linker generation with the formation of soft porous Zn- and Co-MOFs (IFP-9 and -10, respectively) is reported. The flexible ethoxy groups of IFP-9 and -10 protrude into the 1D hexagonal channels. The gas-sorption behavior of both materials for H2, CO2 and CH4 showed wide hysteretic isotherms, typical for MOFs having a flexible substituent which can give rise to a gate effect.

A Co(II)–imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate based MOF, IFP-5, is synthesized by using an imidazolate anion-based novel ionic liquid as a linker precursor under solvothermal conditions. IFP-5 shows significant amounts of gas (N2, CO2, CH4 and H2) uptake capacities. IFP-5 exhibits an independent high spin Co(II) centre and antiferromagnetic coupling.
The reaction of pharmacological active protic ionic liquid tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium 4-chlorophenylsulfanylacetate H+N(CH2CH2OH)(3) center dot (-OOCCH2SC6H4Cl-4) (1) with zinc or nickel chloride in a ratio of 2:1 affords stable at room temperature powder-like adducts [H+N(CH2CH2OH)(3)](2) center dot [M(OOCCH2SC6H4Cl-4)(2)Cl-2](2-), M = Zn (2), Ni (3). By recrystallization from aqueous alcohol compound 2 unexpectedly gives Zn(OOCCH2SC6H4Cl-4)(2) center dot 2H(2)O (4). Unlike 2, compound 3 gives crystals [N(CH2CH2OH)(3)](2)Ni2+ center dot [-OOCCH2SC6H4Cl-4](2) (5), which have a structure of metallated ionic liquid. The structure of 5 has been proved by X-ray diffraction analysis. It is the first example of the conversion of a protic ionic liquid into potentially biological active metallated ionic liquid (1 -> 3 -> 5).
