Abstract

The coordination polymer [Cu(ppca′)2(H2O)(HgI2)](H2O) (1) was synthesized hydrothermally using the ligand 3,4′-bipyridine-6-carboxylic acid (ppca′). Structure 1 consists of square pyramidal copper (II) units linked by mercury (II) iodide into one-dimensional zigzag chains, which hydrogen bond into double chains. These ladders are further hydrogen bonded into a three-dimensional network that crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. In structure 1, a = 16.9058(10) Å, b = 11.2645(6) Å, c = 27.2707(15) Å, and β = 92.754(1)°.
