Crystal structure of catena-poly[[di-iodidomer-cury(II)]-μ-2,2'-di-thio-bis-(pyridine N-oxide)-κ²O:O'].

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [HgI₂(C₁₀H₈N₂O₂S₂)] _n , a one-dimensional coordination polymer with HgI₂ units and 2,2'-di-thio-bis-(pyridine N-oxide) spacer ligands in an alternating fashion, forms helical chains running along the b axis in the crystal. Within a single coordination polymer strand, the axially chiral 2,2'-di-thio-bis-(pyridine N-oxide) ligands are homochiral, but the enanti-omeric conformation is present in adjacent strands. Within a coordination polymer strand, the iodido ligands point towards the centroids of the aromatic rings of the pyridine N-oxide moieties in the coordination sphere of Hg^II. Moreover, intra-strand C-H⋯O and C-H⋯I inter-actions, an
