Versatile coordination environment and interplay of metal assisted secondary interactions in the organization of supramolecular motifs in new Hg (II)/PhHg (II) …
Abstract New mercury (II) complexes of the form [PhHg (L)](L= L1 (1), L2 (2), L3′(3), L4=(4));[Hg (L) 2](L= L5 (5), L4 (7) and [Hg 2 (L6) 4](6) have been synthesized and characterized by micro analysis and X-ray crystallography. Both 1 and 2 are linear; complex 2 revealed intramolecular Hg⋯ O bonding interactions. Complex 3 possesses T-shaped geometry in a linear polymeric chain motif. Although serendipitously formed, 3 is the first ...
