Abstract:A rare pyrene‐based coordination compound of Hg(II) [Hg(L) 2 ] ( 1 ) (where, HL = 2‐((Pyren‐1‐ylmethylene)amino)benzenethiol) was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ Ray diffraction (SC‐XRD) analysis. Crystallographic analysis revealed that complex 1 has seesaw geometry with HL coordinated as a bidentate ligand to a metal ion. The role of weak forces like π∙∙∙π and CH∙∙∙π interactions in influencing the self‐assembly process appears to be of importance. The electronic structure of the complex wa… Show more
