Abstract The delicate balance among conformation, coordination bonds and hydrogen bonding has been probed in solvatomorphs of known metal-organic molecules synthesised from copper(II), cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) with acetate (OAc) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy). The Cu(OAc)2(bipy) complex, isolated as a pentahydrate, has the acetate ligands oriented to opposite sides of the coordination square plane. DFT calculations show the energy difference between this structure and a syn form amount to approximately 16 kJ/mol. The presence of lattice water enables the formation of O–H···O hydrogen bonds with the acetate ligands. Different coordination numbers and energies are found as a function of the number of water molecules co-crystallising in the Cd(OAc)2(bipy)(OH2)·3H2O and [Co(OAc)(bipy)2](OAc)·3H2O complexes.

Valorization of carbon dioxide into organic molecules using catalytic approaches has witnessed an upsurge in recent years. Here, the influence of an Al(III) aminotriphenolate complex on the regio- and stereo-chemical features of the coupling between carbon dioxide and a cyclic epoxy alcohol has been studied. Three distinct bicyclic carbonate products were produced from a single starting material depending on the catalytic conditions. The proposed carbonate configurations were examined by solution and solid phase techniques including NMR spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses. Control experiments combined with DFT calculations provide a rationale for the distinct catalytic manifolds observed in the presence and absence of the Al(III) complex.

AbstractVermiculite single crystals immersed in aminoacid solutions of varying concentration and pH, form complexes characterized by discrete basal spacings. Organic molecules enter in the interlayer space as cations and as dipolar ions through mechanisms of ion exchange and dipole adsorption.The basal spacings of the complexes were recorded. Based on these results the possible arrangements of the aminoacid molecules have been discussed.The main assumptions used are: (a) the electropositive groups NH3+ penetrate into the holes formed by the basal oxygens of the silicate; (13) the C-N bonds are perpendicular to the silicate sheets; (c) the hydrogen atoms of the —CH2 groups are directed towards the sheet surfaces; (d) the —COO− and —COOH groups are located in the middle plane of the interlayer space, halfway between the negative structural charges; and (e) double hydrogen bonds are formed between —COOH groups belonging to organic cations adsorbed onto opposite surfaces.In solutions of higher concentration the crystals swell to the gel state. This phenomenon is due to: (a) the different nature of interlayer cohesion after substitution of the inorganic cations by the aminoacid cationic form; and (b) the appearance of repulsive forces between —COO− groups of adsorbed dipoles, that overcome cohesive forces.
