Hg(II) Coordination Polymers Based on N,N’-bis(pyridine-4-yl)formamidine

چکیده
Reactions of N,N’-bis(pyridine-4-yl)formamidine (4-Hpyf) with HgX2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) afforded the formamidinate complex {[Hg(4-pyf)2] ̈(THF)}n, 1, and the formamidine complexes {[HgX2(4-Hpyf)] ̈(MeCN)}n (X = Br, 2; I, 3), which have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is a 2D layer with the {44 ̈62}-sql topology and complexes 2 and 3 are helical chains. While the helical chains of 2 are linked through N–H ̈ ̈ ̈Br hydrogen bonds, those of 3 are linked through self-complementary double N–H ̈ ̈ ̈N hydrogen bonds, resulting in 2D supramolecular structures. The 4-pyfligands of 1 coordinate to the Hg(II) ions through one pyridyl and one adjacent amine nitrogen atoms and the 4-Hpyf ligands of 2 and 3 coordinate to the Hg(II) ions through two pyridyl nitrogen atoms, resulting in new bidentate binding modes. Complexes 1–3 provide a unique opportunity to envisage the effect of the halide anions of the starting Hg(II) salts on folding and unfolding the Hg(II) coordination polymers. Density function theory (DFT) calculation indicates that the emission of 1 is due to intraligand πÑπ * charge transfer between two different 4-pyfligands, whereas those of 2 and 3 can be ascribed to the charge transfer from non-bonding p-type orbitals of the halide anions to π * orbitals of the 4-pyfligands (nÑπ *). The gas sorption properties of the desolvated product of 1 are compared with the Cu analogues to show that the nature of the counteranion and the solvent-accessible volume are important in determining their adsorption capability.

The isotypic title one-dimensional coordination polymers, [CdCl2(C18H14N4O4)] n , (I), and [HgCl2(C18H14N4O4)] n , (II), are, respectively, the cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of the dimethyl ester of 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carb-oxy-lic acid. In both compounds, the metal ions are located on a twofold rotation axis and a second such axis bis-ects the Car-Car bonds of the pyr...

In contrast to previously published "back-to-back" bis-[2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine] derivatives, which form coordination polymers with transition ions that are usually insoluble, bppSSbpp yields soluble oligomeric complexes with iron(ii) and zinc(ii).
