Synthesis and Structure of a HgCl₂ Coordination Polymer With 1,4-Bis(benzimidazole-1-yl-methylene)benzene (bbmb)

Synthesis and structure of the mercury chloride complex of 2,2′-(2-bromo-5-tert-butyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole)

“…A survey of the structural investigations of mercury halide complexes with benzimidazole derivatives have shown that they come in two main types, viz. polymeric, bridging either through the halide (Zhang et al, 2015;Li et al, 2007;Shen et al, 2005) or through alternative N atoms from the benzimidazole moieties (Xiao et al, 2009(Xiao et al, , 2011Huang et al, 2006;Li et al, 2007Li et al, , 2012aDey et al, 2013;Du et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2013;Su et al, 2003;Xu et al, 2011), or discrete molecules, i.e. non-polymeric (Xiao et al, 2011;Wu et al, 2009;Zhao et al, 2012;Lou et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2009;Carballo et al, 1993;Yan et al, 2012;Hu et al, 2012Hu et al, , 2015Ding et al, 2012;Matthews et al, 1998;Manjunatha et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2007Wang et al, , 2009Wang et al, , 2012Wang et al, , 2015Chen et al, 2014;Su et al, 2003;Quiroz-Castro et al, 2000;Yang & Luo, 2012;He et al, 2012;Bouchouit et al, 2015).…”
