Four one-dimensional (1D) mercury(II) halide coordination polymers have been synthesized by using a semi-rigid <i>N</i>-donor ligand, 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)-bis(<i>N</i>-(pyridin-3-yl)acetamide) (1,4-pbpa). While [Hg(1,4-pbpa)Cl₂·CH₃OH]<sub>n</sub>, <b>1</b>, forms a sinusoidal chain, the complexes [Hg(1,4-pbpa)X₂]<sub>n</sub> (X = Cl, <b>2</b>; Br, <b>3</b>; I, <b>4</b>) are helical. The sinusoidal <b>1</b> undergoes reversible structural transformation with helical <b>2</b> upon removal and upta ...[more]
