Abstract

The synthesis of hybrid organic–inorganic polymers by combination of mercury(II) halides with the ligand 1,5-bis(isonicotinamido)naphthalene, C10H6(NHCO-4-C5H4N)2, 1. The compounds of formula [HgX2(1)] form either linear (X = Cl, Br) or zig-zag (X = I) polymers and contain tetrahedral mercury(II) centers with bridging ligands 1. The polymers are further assembled by hydrogen bonding between amide groups. When X = Cl or Br, two-dimensional sheet structures are formed whereas, when X = I, a three-dimensional network is formed. A new polymeric form of [HgCl2(Me2SO)] is also described.
