Catena-Poly[[chlorido[1-(3-nitro-phen-yl)-2-(triphenyl-phospho-ranyl-idene)ethanone-?C(2)]mercury(II)]-?-chlorido].

ABSTRACT: In the title organometallic polymer, [HgCl(2)(C(26)H(20)NO(3)P)](n), the monodentate 1-(3-nitro-phen-yl)-2-(triphenyl-phospho-ran-yl--idene)ethanone ligand is coordinated to the Hg(II) atom through the methine C atom. The Hg(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by one terminal Cl atom, two bridging Cl atoms, and one C atom from the ylidic ligand, resulting in a polymeric chain parallel to [010]. The terminal Cl atom is more strongly bound to the Hg(II) ion [2.3916?(9)?Å] than the bridging Cl atoms. The bridge is asymmetric, as indicated by the two different Hg-Cl(bridging) bond lengths [2.5840?(8) and 2.7876?(8)?Å]. Intra-molecular C-H?O and weak C-H?Cl contacts stabilize the polymeric chain. In the crystal, adjacent chains inter-act via C-H?O hydrogen bonds.
