Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [Hg6P4](TiCl6)Cl: The Problem of Host–Guest Interactions

Syntheses, structures, and magnetic and optical properties of the compounds [Hg3Te2][UCl6] and [Hg4As2][UCl6]

“…These reagents have been shown to react with metals and chalcogens or pnictogens to produce quaternary compounds, most of which are nothing more than salts but most of which have been described as ''supramolecular compounds''. The chemistry of such compounds is rich and includes [Hg 3 Q 2 ][SiF 6 ] (Q ¼ S, Se, Te) [6], [Hg 3 Q 2 ][MX 6 ] (Q ¼ S, Se; M ¼ Zr, Hf; X ¼ Cl, Br) [7], [Hg 3 Se 2 ] [Se 2 O 5 ] [8], [Hg 6 T 4 ][MX 6 ]X (T ¼ P, As; M ¼ Mo, Ti; X ¼ Cl, Br) [9,10], [Hg 7 As 4 ][AgI 3 ] 2 [11], [Hg 3 T 2 ][TlX 3 ] (T ¼ As, Sb; X ¼ Cl, Br) [12], [Hg 6 As 4 ][YbBr 6 ]Br [13], [Hg 11 As 4 ][GaBr 4 ] 4 [14], and [Hg 2 As] 2 [CdI 4 ] [15]. Here we report the syntheses, crystal structures, optical properties, and magnetic properties of the first Hg/U chalcogenides or pnictides, namely [Hg 3 Te 2 ][UCl 6 ] and [Hg 4 As 2 ][UCl 6 ].…”

A New Family of Supramolecular Complexes with 3D Cationic Hg/Z Frameworks, SnX3− Guest Anions (Z = P, As, Sb; X = Cl, Br, I): Crystal Structures and Host−Guest Interactions

“…The nature of the weak electrostatic host‐guest interaction is not discussed in this article. Recently7 we showed that for similar supramolecular complexes containing d‐metals as the centers of guest anions a host‐guest charge transfer takes place.…”

Ferroelectric Transition in the Inorganic Supramolecular Complex (Hg6P4)(CuCl3)2

“…The HgP and PP bond lengths in the cationic moiety in 1 range from 2.409(4) to 2.434(4) Å and 2.172(7) to 2.190(5) Å, respectively, which lie in the normal ranges for HgP and PP bond lengths, in known mercury pnictide halides,16a,b respectively. The CuCl bond lengths (2.193(5)–2.681(6) Å) in the anionic guests of 1 are close to those found in literature 16c…”
