The structure of catena-poly[[{bis­[4-(trimethyl­ammonio)benzene­thiol­ate-κS]mercury(II)}-μ-1,1′-(ethane-1,2-di­yl)bis­(1H-benzimidazole)-κ2N3:N3′] bis­(hexa­fluoridophosphate) 0.25-hydrate], {[Hg(C16H14N4)(C9H13NS)2](PF6)2·0.25H2O}n, contains a one-dimensional zigzag chain. The HgII cation is coordinated by two S atoms of two 4-(trimethyl­ammonio)­benzene­thiol­ate (Tab) ligands and by two N atoms from two different 1,1′-(ethane-1,2-di­yl)bis­(1H-benzimidazole) ligands, forming a distorted seesaw-shaped coordination geometry. The F atoms of the hexa­fluoridophosphate anion inter­act with the H atoms of the Tab ligand, generating a two-dimensional network. Furthermore, this layer is connected to neighbouring layers via H...π inter­actions, thereby forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded structure. In catena-poly[[{[4-(trimethyl­ammonio)­benzene­thiol­ate-κS]mercury(II)}bis­[μ-4-(trimethyl­ammonio)­benzene­thiol­ate-κ2S:S]{[4-(trimethylammonio)­benzene­thiol­ate-κS]mercury(II)}-μ-1,1′-(hexane-1,6-di­yl)bis­(1H-benzimidazole)-κ2N3:N3′] tetra­kis­(hexa­fluor­ido­phosphate)], {[Hg2(C20H22N4)(C9H13NS)4](PF6)4}n, each HgII cation is coordinated by two S atoms of two Tab ligands and one N atom of the 1,1′-(hexane-1,6-di­yl)bis­(1H-benzimidazole) (hbbm) ligand, forming a distorted T-shaped coordination geometry, while longer secondary Hg...S bonds join two such units across a centre of inversion to give the tetravalent cation. Adjacent {[Hg(Tab)2]2(μ-hbbm)}4+ cations are linked through the centrosymmetric hbbm ligands to afford a one-dimensional chain extending along the b axis. Several F atoms inter­act with the H atoms of the Tab and hbbm ligands, while the S atom inter­acts with an aromatic H atom of a different Tab ligand, to afford a complex intra- and inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding arrangement in a three-dimensional structure.

Comment top

In previous studies (Chen et al., 2006), we employed [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2 [Tab is 4-(trimethylammonio)benzenethiolate] as a potential model complex for mimicking the reactivity of unsaturated HgS2 sites in the detoxification of mercury by metallothioneins (MTs) (Stillman et al., 1983; Cheesman et al., 1988; Fleischer et al., 2005; Baba et al., 2008; Vig et al., 2003), in DNA binding proteins (Patra & Goldberg, 2002; Henkel & Krebs, 2004), in mercury reductase and organomercury lyase (Bharara et al., 2005, 2006; Chan et al., 2002; Qian et al., 1998), and in metalloregulatory protein (MerR) (Moore et al., 1990; Ralston & O'Halloran, 1990; Gruff & Koch, 1990; Helmann et al., 1990; Govindaswamy et al., 1992). The chemistry of [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2 was analysed with some donor ligands (e.g. Tab, NCS- and I-), naturally encountered inorganic anions (e.g. Cl-, NO2- and NO3-), organic amines and N-heterocyclic compounds (e.g. 1,2-diaminoethane, pyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and N-methylimidazole) (Tang et al., 2009), and various carboxylic acids and amino acids (e.g. acetic, salicylic and oxalic acids) (Tang et al., 2011). However, most of these mercury thiolate compounds are monomeric and only a few are coordination polymers. As an extension of this work, we undertook reactions of [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2 with two bridging ligands, 1,1'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1H-benzimidazole) (ebbm) and 1,1'-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis-(1H-benzimidazole) (hbbm), and the two title Hg–Tab coordination polymers, (I) and (II), were isolated therefrom. Here, we report the crystal structures of complexes (I) and (II).

The asymmetric unit of (I) contains an [Hg(Tab)2(ebbm)]2+ dication (Fig. 1), two PF6- anions and a partial-occupancy (0.25) solvent water molecule. The HgII centre in this dication is coordinated by two S atoms from the Tab ligands and two N atoms from two different ebbm ligands, displaying a seesaw-shaped coordination geometry. Each [Hg(Tab)2] unit is linked by a pair of ebbm ligands to form a one-dimensional zigzag chain extending along the c-axis direction (Fig. 2). Relative to the trans configuration of [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2, the two Tab ligands in (I) are oriented in the same direction, with a dihedral angle between the phenyl groups of 37.9 (3)°. The mean Hg—S bond length [2.3761 (17) Å; Table 1] is comparable with that in [Hg(Tab)2(Ac)](PF6).0.5H2O [2.3752 (19) Å; Tang et al., 2011] but slightly longer than those in [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2 and [Hg(Tab)2(phen)](PF6)2 [2.331 (3) and 2.344 (3) Å, respectively; Tang et al., 2009]. The average Hg—N bond length [2.543 (6) Å] is longer than those observed in [Hg(L)(SCN)2] [2.421 (2) Å; L is 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene; Mahmoudi et al., 2007] and [HgI2(L).1.5MeOH]n [2.418 (7) Å; L is N,N'-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,4-benzenedicarboxamide; Li et al., 2005]. The S—Hg—S angle in (I) [160.72 (6)°] deviates significantly from the linear S—Hg—S angle of [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2. The N—Hg—N angle of 94.56 (18)° is comparable with that in [Hg(L)(SCN)2]n [93.76 (10)°; L is 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene; Mahmoudi et al., 2007].

In (I), the F atoms of the PF6- anions in one chain interact with the methyl H atoms of the Tab ligands in another chain to form four intramolecular hydrogen bonds [C8···F12, C9···F9, C17···F9 and C17···F4] and four intermolecular hydrogen bonds [C7···F10(x, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2), C9···F8(x, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2), C16···F2(-x + 2, y - 1/2, -z + 3/2) and C18···F12(-x + 2, y + 1/2, -z + 3/2)], affording a two-dimensional network (Table 2). Furthermore, this layer is connected to neighbouring ones via H···π interactions (H2A···Cg, where Cg is the centroid of the N5/C28/C33/N6/C34 ring), thereby forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network (Table 2).

The asymmetric unit of (II) comprisess half a {[Hg(Tab)2]2(µ-hbbm)}4+ tetracation and two PF6- anions. In the tetracation, two Hg(Tab)2 units are bridged by one hbbm ligand via two Hg—N bonds (Fig. 3). There is a crystallographic inversion centre at the centre of the Hg1···Hg1i axis [symmetry code (i) -x + 2, -y + 1, -z + 1]. Each HgII cation is coordinated by two S atoms from two Tab ligands and one N atom from the hbbm ligand, displaying a distorted T-shaped coordination. Each tetracation is further connected via a secondary Hg···S interaction between the HgII center and the S atom of the Tab ligand of the adjacent one, forming a one-dimensional chain extending along the b-axis direction (Fig. 4). Therefore, the HgII centre in (II) may be viewed as having a pseudo-four-coordinated pinwheel-shaped geometry. Similar to (I), the two Tab ligands of (II) are also in a cis configuration, with a dihedral angle between the two Tab-ligand phenyl groups of 77.4 (3)°. The mean Hg—S bond length in (II) [2.3813 (16) Å] is slightly longer than that in (I), while the average Hg—N bond length [2.362 (14) Å] is much shorter than that observed in (I). The secondary Hg···S separation [3.1325 (16) Å] is intermediate between that observed in [Hg(Tab)2(N-iPrim)](PF6)2 [2.805 (5) Å; iPrim is? Please define; Tang et al., 2009] and that in [Hg(SCH2COOH)2] [3.379 (3) Å; Bramlett et al., 2004]. The S—Hg—S angle [156.38 (6)°] is smaller than that of (I).

In (II), because the PF6- anions are located between the chains, several F atoms interact with the H atoms of the Tab and hbbm ligands to afford four intramolecular hydrogen bonds [C5···F7, C17···F12, C17···F12 and C17···F2] and three intermolecular hydrogen bonds [C8···F11(-x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1), C17···F6(-x + 1, -y, -z + 1) and C26···F6(x + 1, y + 1, z + 1)]. In addition, the S atom of the Tab ligand interacts with a Tab-ligand H atom to form an intermolecular hydrogen bond [C3···S2(x + 1, y, z)]. These hydrogen-bonding interactions form a three-dimensional network (Table 3).

Experimental top

To a solution of [Hg(Tab)2](PF6)2 (0.082 g, 0.1 mmol) in MeCN (5 ml) was added a solution of ebbm (0.013 g, 0.05 mmol) in MeOH (2 ml). The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h to form a colourless solution and then filtered. Diethyl ether (20 ml) was layered onto the filtrate to form colourless prisms of [Hg(Tab)2(ebbm)](PF6)2.0.25H2O, (I), after several days. These were collected by filtration, washed with Et2O and dried in vacuo (yield 0.092 g, 85.0% based on Hg). Analysis, found: C 37.32, H 3.70, N 7.58%; calculated for C34H40.5F12HgN6O0.25P2S2: C 37.40, H 3.75, N 7.70%. IR (KBr, ν, cm-1): 1615 (w), 1492 (m), 956 (m), 840 (s).

Refinement top

For (I), the occupancy factor of a partial-occupancy solvent water molecule was fixed at 0.25. The two H atoms of this water molecule were not located. All other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions, with C—H = 0.98 for methyl groups, 0.99 for methylene groups and 0.95 Å for phenyl groups, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for phenyl groups or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
