Abstract:The macrometallacyclic title compound, [Hg4Br4(C8H11N2S)4] or [((HgL
2)(HgBr2))2] (1) where HL = 2-{[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]amino}ethane-1-thiol, was prepared and structurally characterized. The Hg2+ complex crystallizes in the P21/c space group. The centrosymmetric Hg4S4 metallacycle is constructed from metal ions with alternating distorted tetrahedral Br2S2 and distorted seesaw N2S2 primary coordination environments with pendant pyridyl groups. The backfolded extended chair metallacycle confo… Show more
