Abstract: | Reactions of CsI and HgI2 with benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) and 15-crown-5 (15C5) in an ethanol-acetone mixture produced [Cs(B15C5)2]2[Hg2I6] (1) and {[Cs(15C5)]2[Hg2I6]}n (2), respectively. The structures of the two complexes are quite different. Molar ratios of Cs+ : crown ether are 1 : 2 in 1 and 1 : 1 in 2. Complex 1 consists of two Cs(B15C5)2+ cations and a Hg2I62- anion. Cs+ lies between the two crown-5 ligands, resulting in a sandwich-type cation. Cationic Cs(B15C5)2+ and anionic Hg2I62- are linked together by electrostatic interactions and the complex 1 is an ion pair compound. Complex 2 consists of infinite [Cs(15C5)]2[Hg2I6] units. Each structural unit contains two Cs(15C5)+ cations and a Hg2I62- anion. Cs+ is coordinated by five oxygen atoms of 15C5, three iodine atoms of Hg2I62-, and an iodine atom of Hg2I62- in an adjacent structural unit. The interactions between the Cs+ of Cs(15C5)+ and an I– in Hg2I62- from adjacent structural units polymerize the complex 2, resulting in a one-dimensional network structure. The anions of Hg2I62- in both complexes are similar. The two mercury atoms are linked through two bridging iodine atoms and each mercury is also coordinated by two terminal iodines.
