Introduction
The research of Rissanen group focuses on the design, synthesis and structures of supramolecular and nano-sized assemblies and the weak intermolecular interaction they manifest. Single crystal X-ray crystallography is an integral part and is heavily involved in all areas of the research group. Projects lie at the interface between synthetic chemistry, structural chemistry and nano-related materials science and aim to the understanding of the weak intermolecular interactions.

Starting from N‐acyl sulfonimidamides, mechanochemically generated rhodium nitrenoids undergo intramolecular N−O couplings to provide unprecedented 1,3,2,4‐oxathiadiazole 3‐oxides in good to excellent yields. The cyclization proceeds efficiently with a catalyst loading of only 0.5 mol % in the presence of phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) as oxida...

Rotaxanes can be regarded as storage systems for their wheel components, which broadens their application potential as a complement to the supramolecular systems that retain a mechanically interlocked structure. However, utilising rotaxanes in this way requires a method to release the wheel while preserving the integrity of all molecular constituen...

A new Cl–Cl···⁻O–N⁺ halogen-bonded paradigm has been demonstrated, using dichlorine as a halogen bond (XB) donor and N-oxide as an XB acceptor. Their crystalline complexes were formed during the warm-up process from −196 °C to −80 °C for X-ray diffraction analysis. They exhibit high instability in the crystalline state, even at these low temperatur...

Halogen bonding occurs between a positive region of a polarized halogen (X), most commonly with an iodine or bromine atom. The polarization, caused by an electron withdrawing group (R), induces electron deficiency onto the halogen atom, creating an electropositive region known as a σ-hole.

A mechanochemical van Leusen pyrrole synthesis with a base leads to 3,4-disubstitued pyrroles in moderate to excellent yields. The developed protocol is compatible with a range of electron-withdrawing groups and can also be applied to the synthesis of oxazoles. Attempts to mechanochemically convert the resulting pyrroles into porphyrins proved to b...

Trapping of volatile unbranched C6hydrocarbons (hexane, 1-hexene, and 1-hexyne) in a 1D coordination polymer is reported. The guest inclusion was studied quantitatively by¹H-NMR analysis and thermogravimetric measurements, while synchrotron single-crystal diffraction data allowed advancing the view of their confinement into linear CP channels. Adso...

In recent years the excessive use of hydazine containing chemical pesticides and insecticides in farming practices are well pronounced, that directly or indirectly impart a great threat towards the total...

A series of neutral halogen-bonded O–I–N complexes were prepared from in-situ formed carbonyl hypoiodites and aromatic organic bases (pyridine, DMAP, 4-morpholinopyridine and 4-piperidinopyridine). The carbonyl hypoiodites exhibit a very strongly polarized iodine atom with larger sigma-holes than any known uncharged halogen bond donor. The hypoiodi...

A self-assembled metallobox from copper(II) and two macrocycles containing 1H-pyrazole ligands has been prepared. The internal cavity of the box is able to selectively encapsulate a single chloride anion over...

A series of compressed M[Li3(1)3Ti2] (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and expanded helicates M4[(1)3Ti2] has been obtained. The helicates Li3[M(1)3Ti2] or M4[(1)3Ti2] with M = Na+, K+, Rb+, or Cs+ adopt the expanded structure in solution. Upon crystallization cation-translocation based isomerism leads to the compressed structures M[Li3(1)3Ti2] (M = Na, Rb).
