Abstract

Tridentate ligand N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(2-(ethylthiolato)amine (L) forms the novel complex [Hg₅(L)₆](ClO₄)₄·toluene (2) with a bicyclo[3.3.3] Hg₅S₆ core and 4-, 5- and 6-coordinate metal centers; characterization of a solution of 2 by ESI-MS revealed elaborate speciation involving [Hg_nL_n+1(ClO₄)_n−2]⁺, [Hg_nL_n(ClO₄)_n−1]⁺ and [Hg_nL_n−1(ClO₄)_n]⁺ ion families.
