For the next generation of handling systems, reversible adhesion enabled by micropatterned dry adhesives exhibits high potential. The versatility of polymeric micropatterns in handling objects made from various materials has been demonstrated by several groups. However, specimens reported in most studies have been restricted to the laboratory scale. Upscaling the size and quantity of micropatterned adhesives is the next step to enable successful technology transfer. Towards this aim, we introduce a continuous roll-to-roll replication process for fabrication of high-performance, mushroom-shaped micropatterned dry adhesives. The micropatterns were made from UV-curable polyurethane acrylates. To ensure the integrity of the complex structure during the fabrication process, flexible templates were used. The compression between the template and the wet prepolymer coating was investigated to optimize replication results without structural failures, and hence, to improve adhesion. As a result, we obtained micropatterned adhesive tapes, 10 cm in width and several meters in length, with adhesion strength about 250 kPa to glass, suitable for a wide range of applications.

The iminostannylene HNSn was successfully incorporated in a molecular cage of composition (Me2RSi–NSn)3(HNSn) with group R either being a methyl (1) or vinyl (2) substituent. An X‐ray structure analysis reveals that 2 consists of a distorted Sn4N4 cube. The Sn–N(H) bond lengths [2.189(2) Å] are in the range for Sn4N4 hetero cubanes. When stored in a toluene solution the clusters 1 and 2 decompose slowly into the symmetric cubanes (Me2RSi–NSn)4 [R = Me (3), CHCH2 (4)] and an amorphous and insoluble powder of composition HNSn. The decomposition follows a first order rate law as established for 2 with a half life time t1/2 = 320 d at 20 °C. The compounds 1 and 2 can thus be regarded as a result of interaction between three entities {Me2RSi–NSn} and one entity {HNSn}. We also isolated the twistane‐like Me2Si(NtBu)2Sn2NtBu (5) in a crystalline form. The central structure of this molecule, which has almost C2v symmetry, has a trigonal bipyramid Sn2N3 unit with the nitrogen atoms occupying the equatorial plane. Each nitrogen atom has a tert‐butyl ligand and two of the N atoms are further connected by the dimethylsilyl group. There is one nitrogen atom in an almost planar environment (only bonding to tert‐butyl and two tin atoms) with a remarkable short Sn–N bond length of 2.048(5) Å. Both tin atoms in cage 5 can bond to Cr(CO)5 to form [Me2Si(NtBu)2Sn2NtBu][Cr(CO)5]2 (6) with an almost linear Cr–Sn···Sn–Cr arrangement and Sn–Cr bond lengths of 2.581(1) Å (X‐ray diffraction).
