Abstract
In this study, solution reaction of mercury dichloride with organic multifunctional ligand 1,4-bis(benzimidazole-1-yl-methylene)benzene generated a 1D polymer [HgCl2 (bbmb)·2H2O ·CH3OH]n 1, and the crystal structure has been determined (C46H60Cl4Hg2N8O10), Mr = 1428.00, a = 14.703(15) Å, b = 17.248(17) Å, c = 14.91(2) Å, β = 114.869(10)°, space group C2/c, Z = 2, and V = 3430(7) Å3. In 1 the tetrahedral coordination of Hg(II) and the conformation of the bbmb ligand make it a wave-shaped structure.
