72. The nomenclature of imidazolium salts is defined by seven descriptors: The first one includes the absolute configuration of C1 and C2 at the cycloalkyl ring [for instance: (S, S)-]. The relative configuration at these carbon atoms is reported by the second descriptor trans or cis [for instance: (S, S)- trans]. The size of the cycloalkyl ring is described through the use of the terms Cy5 for cyclopentane rings and Cy6 for cyclohexane rings [for instance: (S, S)-trans-Cy5]. The fourth descriptor indicates the presence of OH or OR at C2 of the cycloalkyl ring [for instance: (S, S)-trans-Cy5-OH-]. The nature of the alkyl chain at N3 of the imidazolium moiety is indicated by the use of Bn (for benzyl), Bu (for butyl), or Oct (for octyl) [for instance: (S, S)-trans-Cy5-OH-Bu- ]. Finally, the term Im refers to the central core of imidazolium, while the last descriptor refers to the specific anion included in the structure [for instance: (S, S)-trans-Cy5-OH-Bu-Im-Cl].

103. The computed vibrational frequencies of the C2-H bond for the obtained minima showed similar trends to the experimental ones (see the Supporting Information). Thus, the trans isomers showed absorptions at lower frequencies than the cis ones, in good accordance with the experimental data and reflecting the somehow stronger anion-cation interaction in the trans diastereoisomer. Although the computed (uncorrected) quantitative values of vibrational frequencies are far from the experimental ones, we believe that the correlation is qualitatively acceptable considering the number of approximations made.
104. We also attempted to record circular dichroism spectra to further support these observations. Unfortunately, the very low UV absorption of the imidazolium group precluded suitable spectra from being obtained.
105. All these parameters were calculated with the Mercury 1.3.2 software, developed by The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre and freely downloadable at: www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/products/mercury/.
