Abstract

AbstractTrivalent cerium tris‐tert‐butoxide, “[Ce(OtBu)3]”, was synthesised in situ and treated with excess HgCl2. After reaction, colourless crystals were identified amongst excess HgCl2. Analysis by X‐ray crystallography revealed the formation of an unusual ion separated coordination polymer consisting of two [CeIV(OtBu)3(thf)3]+ ions and a di‐anionic chloridomercurate(II) two dimensional sheet [Hg8Cl18]2−, giving the overall formula [{Ce(OtBu)3(thf)3}2{Hg8Cl18}]∞ (1).
