Hybrid material constructed from Hg(NCS)2and 2,4,6-Tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPymT): Coordination of TPymT in a 2,2′-bipyridine-like mode

Abstract

A unique HgII coordination polymer has been synthesized through the reaction of 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPymT) with a stoichiometric mixture of HgCl2 and NH4NCS, thus leading to the formation of a 1D polymeric heteroleptic hybrid material[{Hg(NCS)2}2TPymT]n (1). Two coordination pockets of TPymT in 1 are each coordinated to two HgII cations in an unprecedented 2,2′-bipyridine-like mode. © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA
