The complexes obtained were characterized with various classical (titration) and instrumental (IR and NMR spectroscopies) methods and molecular modeling (PM3 and PM6 semiempirical quantum chemical methods and HF/6-31G** ab initio calculations). Structural peculiarities reflected in the success or failure in the synthesis could be rationalized with the combination of IR and NMR spectroscopies and molecular modeling. %I ACS Publications
