Abstract

Copper(II) complexes constructed from enantiopure Schiff-base ligands derived from o-vanillin and methionine or from their racemic mixture have been employed as metalloligands towards mercury(II) ions. The nature of the heterometallic Cu <superscript>II</superscript> -Hg <superscript>II</superscript> complexes (coordination polymers or oligonucler species), resulted from the reactions of the copper(II) complexes with HgCl <subscript>2</subscript> or HgI <subscript>2</subscript> , is different. The enantiopure metalloligands lead to chiral coordination polymers, <superscript>1</superscript> <subscript>∞</subscript> [{Cu(R-/S-valmet)(H <subscript>2</subscript> O)} <subscript>2</subscript> HgCl <subscript>2</subscript> ]·5H <subscript>2</subscript> O·CH <subscript>3</subscript> OH and <superscript>2</superscript> <subscript>∞</subscript> [{Cu <subscript>2</subscript> (R-/S-valmet) <subscript>2</subscript> (μ-H <subscript>2</subscript> O)(H <subscript>2</subscript> O) <subscript>2</subscript> }HgI <subscript>2</subscript> ]·4H <subscript>2</subscript> O. The reaction of the racemic mixture of the metalloligands with HgX <subscript>2</subscript> affords discrete complexes: [{Cu(R,S-valmet)(H <subscript>2</subscript> O) <subscript>2</subscript> } <subscript>2</subscript> HgCl <subscript>2</subscript> ]·2H <subscript>2</subscript> O and [{Cu(R,S-valmet)(H <subscript>2</subscript> O)(CH <subscript>3</subscript> OH)} <subscript>2</subscript> Hg <subscript>2</subscript> I <subscript>4</subscript> ].<br /> (© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)
