Abstract

Reaction of Hg(NO3)2 with 4 equivalent KI in water afford K2[HgI4]. By using K2[HgI4] as the precursor, three new heterobimetallic compounds [Ni(N-MeIm)6][HgI4] (I), [Co(N-MeIm)6][HgI4] (II), and [Cu(N-MeIm)6][HgI4] (III) have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and the singlecrystal X-ray crystallorgraphy analysis. Three complexes are isomorphous and crystallized in monoclinic symmetry space group P21/c. The coordination around each center metal(II) atom is octahedral with six nitrogen atoms of N-MeIm ligand. Each structure contains one tetrahedral [HgI4]2− as an anion to balance the charge of the molecular. Thermogravimetry analysis indicates these complexes have the similar departure process and cyclic voltammogram exhibits a significant pair of redox peaks.
