The relationships between the host structure of iron-chloranilate layers and the intercalated charged guests are described. Study shows that hydrogen-bond supported anionic layers based on iron-chloranilate mononuclear complexes can be used as inorganic hosts for the intercalation of guest cations to construct new types of multilayered inorganic-organic hybrid materials.

Research describes the synthesis of three cobalt(II)-pyromellitate complexes, purple, red, and pink, which exhibit hydrogen-bonded and coordination-bonded structures. The magnetic properties of purple complex consists of three ground states and two types of hysteresis loops. Data indicate that the red and pink complexes are paramagnets.

Research has been conducted on the inorganic or/and organic molecule assemblies. The use of polyoxovanadate as a structural building block in the hydrogen bonded inorganic-organic three-dimensional structure synthesis is described.

The synthesis and characterization of two members of a family of porous magnetic materials and the interactions between the pillaring agent and the compositionally complex inorganic layer are described. The magnetism of the pillared layered cobalt hydroxides is complex due to the influences of multiple metal sites, inter- and intralayer exchange, spin-orbit coupling and geometrical frustration, and the controlling influence of the rigidity of the organic pillar on the chemistry and its influence on the cooperative magnetism are shown.

A novel strategy for cyclobutane formation is examined. The reactions of (E)-1-(phenylseleno)-2-(trimethylsilyl)ethene and (E)-1-(phenylseleno)-2-(triethylsilyl)ethene with dimethyl 1,1-dicyanoethene-2,2-dicarboxylate in the presence of Lewis acids were studied. It was observed that efficient and exclusive (2+2) cycloaddition reactions transpired. The (2+2) cycloaddition reactions of 1-seleno-2-silylethenes with dimethyl 1,1-dicyanoethene-2,2-dicarboxylate is also described.

A series of cis-substituted cyclopropanes was synthesized by the reaction of 1-(phenylseleno)-2-(trimethylsilyl)ethene with tris(alkoxycarbonyl) olefins in ZnBr2. The synthetic process was characterized by the cycloaddition reactions of electrophilic olefins with electron-withdrawing substituents and (E)-1-(phenylseleno)-2-silylethenes. The stereoselective cyclopropanation reactions were also dependent on the reactivity of the electrophilic olefins.

The crystal structure of copper(II) intercalation compounds, ((Cu(CA)(H2O)2)(G))n, (H2CA = chloranilic acid, G = 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (1) and phenazine(2)) consists of one dimensional (Cu(CA)(H2O)2)m chains. The chains intercalate G1 molecules to form a stack while G2 molecules are linked to (Cu(CA)(H2O))n chain. The Cu-atom exhibits a six coordinate geometry having two bis-chelating CA2-ions and water molecules. This provides a linear coplanar chain structure. X-ray crystallography and magnetic susceptibility help to understand the structure of the complex .

The cycloaddition reaction of 1-selino-2-silylethenes to methylenemalonate esters with the mediation of lewis acids gave (2 + 1) and (2 + 2) cycloadducts such as cyclopropane and cyclobutane derivatives. (2 + 1) and (2 + 2) cycloaddition can be limited by Lewis acids, silicon substituents, temperature and time. A novel ring contraction of cyclobutane to cyclopropane in the presence of ZnBr2 under reversible conditions is also found.
