Chem Commun (Camb). 2003 Aug 21:(16):2018-9. doi: 10.1039/b302840b.

Abstract

Two new 3D homoleptic binary imidazolates, Cd(im)2 and Hg(im)2 (Him = imidazole), as well as [Hg(im)]NO3, containing 1D polycations of [Hg(im)]n(n+) formulation, have been prepared and characterized by ab-initio XRPD methods.
