Abstract
The new 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole asymmetric bridging ligand 4-amino-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-3-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole (L) has been used to generate three novel isomorphic one-dimensional coordination polymers, viz. catena-poly[[tris[dichloridomercury(II)]-bis{μ(3)-4-amino-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-3-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole}] acetonitrile monosolvate], {[Hg(3)Cl(6)(C(18)H(14)N(6))(2)]·CH(3)CN}(n), (I), and the bromido, {[Hg(3)Br(6)(C(18)H(14)N(6))(2)]·CH(3)CN}(n), (II), and iodido, {[Hg(3)I(6)(C(18)H(14)N(6))(2)]·CH(3)CN}(n), (III), analogs. The asymmetric ligand acts as a tridentate ligand to coordinate the three different Hg(II) centers (two of which are symmetry-related). Two ligands and two symmetry-related Hg(II) centers form centrosymmetric rectangular units which are linked into one-dimensional chains via the other unique Hg atoms, which sit on mirror planes. The chains are elaborated into a three-dimensional structure via interchain hydrogen bonds. The acetonitrile solvent molecules are located in ellipsoidal cavities. The luminescent character of these three coordination complexes was investigated in the solid state.
