Cadmium and mercury acetates have been reacted with pyrazole (Hpz) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz), affording distinct mixed-ligand species, selectively prepared upon slightly modifying the reaction conditions. Two polymorphs of [{Cd(μ-ac)2(Hpz)2}n], as well as the [{Cd(μ-ac)2(Hdmpz)2}n] species (Hac = acetic acid), were obtained by solution chemistry, while the two-dimensional [{Cd3(μ3-ac)4(μ-pz)2(Hpz) 2}n] and [{Cd(μ-ac)(μ-pz)}n] polymers were prepared upon controlled thermal treatment of one of the [{Cd(μ-ac) 2(Hpz)2}n] forms. Two mercury derivatives, [{Hg3(μ-ac)3(μ-pz)3}n] and [{Hg(ac)(μ-dmpz)}n], were also prepared, the latter containing one-dimensional chains of Hg(II) ions bridged by C-mercuriated Hdmpz ligands.

The latter method helped in assigning a C-metalated nature to an amorphous material of [Hg(ac)(pz)] formula, obtained by employing EtOH as a solvent. A few other Hdmpz-containing cadmium acetates were also prepared, but their polyphasic nature, evidenced by diffraction methods, hampered their complete structural characterization.

Abstract
Cadmium and mercury acetates have been reacted with pyrazole (Hpz) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz), affording distinct mixed-ligand species, selectively prepared upon slightly modifying the reaction conditions. Two polymorphs of [{Cd(μ-ac)2(Hpz)2}n], as well as the [{Cd(μ-ac)2(Hdmpz)2}n] species (Hac = acetic acid), were obtained by solution chemistry, while the two-dimensional [{Cd3(μ3-ac)4(μ-pz)2(Hpz) 2}n] and [{Cd(μ-ac)(μ-pz)}n] polymers were prepared upon controlled thermal treatment of one of the [{Cd(μ-ac) 2(Hpz)2}n] forms. Two mercury derivatives, [{Hg3(μ-ac)3(μ-pz)3}n] and [{Hg(ac)(μ-dmpz)}n], were also prepared, the latter containing one-dimensional chains of Hg(II) ions bridged by C-mercuriated Hdmpz ligands. All their crystal structures (but one) were determined by powder diffraction methods using conventional X-ray laboratory equipment, supported by 13C CPMAS NMR measurements. The latter method helped in assigning a C-metalated nature to an amorphous material of [Hg(ac)(pz)] formula, obtained by employing EtOH as a solvent. A few other Hdmpz-containing cadmium acetates were also prepared, but their polyphasic nature, evidenced by diffraction methods, hampered their complete structural characterization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
