Hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) is absorbed (and reversibly released) by a nonporous crystalline solid, [CuCl2(3-Clpy)2] (3-Clpy = 3-chloropyridine), under ambient conditions leading to conversion from the blue coordination compound yellow salt (3-ClpyH)2[CuCl4]. These reactions require substantial motions within solid including change in copper environment square planar tetrahedral. This process also involves cleavage of covalent bond gaseous molecules (H−Cl) and bonds molecular (Cu−N)...

Hydrogen bonding leads the way: Reaction of nonporous crystalline coordination compound 1 with HCl gas results in conversion into salt 2 (see picture) following chemisorption and insertion CuN bonds. Powder diffraction studies show that [CuBr2Cl2]2− ions formed are reoriented to maximize strength hydrogen bonds halogen by preferentially involving Cl rather than Br ligands as acceptor sites.
