Abstract

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