Lewis super-acids, like Sn(OTf)(4) or In(OTf)(3), OTf = CF(3)SO(3)(-), are efficient catalysts for cycloisomerization reactions. We report here a study on the coordination of ligands (or of solvent molecules) around such catalysts at density functional theory level. Using the Sn-based compound as an example, we consider the interaction with several molecules, usually nearby in reaction conditio...

We investigate Li+ coordination in mixed electrolytes based on ionic liquids (ILs) and organic solvents and its relation with the macroscopic properties such as phase behaviour and ionic conductivity. Using Raman spectroscopy we determine the solvation shell around Li+ in mixtures formed by the IL N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, the organic solvents ethylene ca...

A new complex, namely bis-[4'-(furan-2-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine]-nickel(II) dichloride deca-hydrate, [Ni(C19H13N3O)2]Cl2·10H2O, has been crystallized by solvent evaporation and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination environment of the NiII cation is distorted octa-hedral with slight deviations from an idealized geometry. The most intriguing structural feature is ...

The cation, anion, and solvent in the title compound, [K(C(18)H(36)N(2)O(6))][Co(C(8)H(12))(C(16)H(10))(2)]·0.5C(5)H(12), are well separated. The pentane solvent mol-ecules are found in channels along [100] and were modeled as disordered over crystallographic inversion centers. Using the mid-points of the coordinated olefins, the angle between the C(py)/C(py)-Co-C(py)/C(py) and the C(cod)/C(cod...
