Abstract

An organic–inorganic hybrid solid (dpaH)2[Hg(SCN)4] (1) (dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamine) based on an anionic template [Hg(SCN)4]2− has been designed and synthesized. X-Ray crystallographic structural analysis reveals that [Hg(SCN)4]2− templates assemble dpaH+ units into a 2-D layer structure through strong hydrogen bonding. In the 2-D assembly the [Hg(SCN)4]2− units act as nodes and the dpaH+ units as spacers, leading to a (4,4) net topology. The layers stack in ABAB fashion which is facilitated by S⋯S interactions between [Hg(SCN)4]2− units positioned on successive AA layers or BB layers that give rise to 3-D superstructure interpenetrated in a parallel manner.
