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.
