Abstract
A reaction of mercury (II) iodide with pyridine-2-thione (pytH) in 1: 2 (M: L) molar ratio in a CH3CN-MeOH mixture yielded a light brown compound, [HgI2(κ1S-pytH)2] 1. A similar reaction with pyrimidine-2-thione (pymtH) also formed pale yellow crystals of [HgI2(κ1S-pymtH)2] 2. Further, mercury(II) bromide with pytH in CH3CN in presence of DMF yielded a de-brominated compound [Hg(κ1S-pyt)2] 3. Compounds 1 and 2 have distorted tetrahedral geometry, while compound 3 has linear geometry. In case of silver, the reaction of AgBr with pytH in the presence of excess PPh3, designed for the preparation of a mononuclear compound, [AgBr(pytH)(PPh3)2], rather yielded a dinuclear compound, [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pytH)2(PPh3)2] 4. Finally, AgNO3 with pymtH and PPh3 in a 1: 1: 2 M ratio has formed the ionic complex, [Ag(κ1S-pymtH)(PPh3)2](NO3) 5, with a distorted trigonal planar cation. The presence of DMF solvent under hot experimental conditions favoured de-halogenation of mercury halides (Br, Cl), and in case of silver, the size of the anions affected the nature of the silver products.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
