Journal of Chemical Crystallography Aims and scope Submit manuscript

A new organic-inorganic hybrid adduct, [HgI2(dps)] n (dps=4,4′-dipyridylsulfide), has been synthesized by the reaction of HgI2 with dps in THF at room temperature. The structure characterization was performed by means of IR, elemental analyses and single crystal X-ray analysis. It crystallizes in space group P2(1)/c with a=5.5522(1) Å, b=12.127(2) Å, c=21.508(4) Å, β=91.84(3)°. The structure consists of distorted tetrahedral Hg(II) centers bridged by dps ligands to form one-dimensional linear chains with C–H···I interaction. Comparison of transition metal assemblies with dps showed that the dimensionality and structure of self-assembled supramolecule depend on the coordination preferences of metal ions, the geometry, bulk, and rigidity of ligands, the number and size of anions, and the supramolecular weak interactions.
