Abstract

The interaction of the Hg(II) derivatives bis(pentafluoro)phenyl mercury (1), (pentafluoro)phenyl mercury chloride (2) and trimeric perfluoro-ortho-phenylene mercury (3) with tolane (diphenylacetylene) in CH2Cl2 leads to the formation of [1·tolane], [2 2·tolane], and [3·tolane·CH2Cl2]. These adducts have been characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography, and luminescence spectroscopy. In the solid state of these adducts, the tolane molecules interact with the molecules of 1, 2 and 3 via secondary Hg–π interactions and arene–fluoroarene interactions. As a result of an external mercury heavy atom effect, adducts [1·tolane] and [2 2·tolane] are phosphorescent at room temperature.
