Mercuric cyanide as a receptor of pyrene

Mercuric cyanide as a receptor of pyrene Cocrystallization of pyrene with Hg(CN)2 gives a new clathrate, namely bis[dicyanidomercury(II)] pyrene solvate, [Hg(CN)2]2·C16H10, with molecules of pyrene embedded in cavities of the slightly deformed structure of the mercuric salt; the weak intermolecular N...Hg interactions present in pure Hg(CN)2 are maintained in the cocrystal. The X‐ray analysis of the resulting compound reveals unusual organic–inorganic interactions. One molecule of Hg(CN)2 lies on a crystallographic mirror plane, while in the other, only the Hg atom is on the mirror plane. The molecule of pyrene is cut by a mirror plane perpendicular to the plane of the molecule. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Crystallographica Section C Crystal Structure Communications Wiley

Abstract

Cocrystallization of pyrene with Hg(CN)2 gives a new clathrate, namely bis[dicyanidomercury(II)] pyrene solvate, [Hg(CN)2]2·C16H10, with molecules of pyrene embedded in cavities of the slightly deformed structure of the mercuric salt; the weak intermolecular N...Hg interactions present in pure Hg(CN)2 are maintained in the cocrystal. The X‐ray analysis of the resulting compound reveals unusual organic–inorganic interactions. One molecule of Hg(CN)2 lies on a crystallographic mirror plane, while in the other, only the Hg atom is on the mirror plane. The molecule of pyrene is cut by a mirror plane perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.
