Abstract

Trivalent cerium tris-tert-butoxide, “[Ce(OtBu)₃]”, was synthesised in situ and treated with excess HgCl₂. After reaction, colourless crystals were identified amongst excess HgCl₂. Analysis by X-ray crystallography revealed the formation of an unusual ion separated coordination polymer consisting of two [Ce^IV(OtBu)₃(thf)₃]⁺ ions and a di-anionic chloridomercurate(II) two dimensional sheet [Hg₈Cl₁₈]²⁻, giving the overall formula [{Ce(OtBu)₃(thf)₃}₂{Hg₈Cl₁₈}]_∞ (1).
