| Abstract: | The X-ray structure of H2T(3-Py)P·HgI2·C60, cocrystallized from a chlorobenzene/methanol solvent mixture containing 5,10,15,20- tetra(3-pyridyl)porphyrin, HgI2 and C60, has been determined. A new two dimensional arrangement of the tetra(3-pyridyl)porphyrin molecules joined by coordination to HgI2 is formed. These assemblies are connected by close C60-porphyrin π–π interactions leading to the alignment of the porphyrins into linear alternating fullerene porphyrin columns. The structure is compact with no significant cavities. |
