Supporting information
For the preparation of the title compound, the ligand N,N'-bis-(pyridin-3-yl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (0.016 g, 0.05 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of HgCl2 (0.028 g, 0.1 mmol) in methanol (5 ml). The precipitate was filtered and the resulting solution was allowed to stand at room temperature in the dark. After one week high quality colorless crystals were obtained and dried in air.

Special details top Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The expansion of the field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) of predetermined structure depends on the judicious choice of new linkers and nodes of appropriate coordination algorithms (Ockwig et al., 2005). Rigid polydentate N-donor ligands are typical linkers employed in such a work. N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-yl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide, with a rigid conjugated clamp-like configuration, is a convenient bridging ligand for the syntheses of cyclic complexes (Qin et al., 2003; Baer et al., 2002). In this work, we selected this ligand as linker, to generate the new title coordination complex, and we report herein its crystal structure.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1) contains one-half molecule and an N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) molecule, where the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. The HgII atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms from two ligands and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry (Table 1). The two HgII atoms are bridged with two N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-yl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide ligands to form a porous MOF with 28-membered macroring. The pyridine rings A (N1/C1–C5), B (N3/C7–C11) and C (N5/C13–C17) are oriented at dihedral angles of A/B = 3.31 (3)°, A/C = 62.29 (3)° and B/C = 60.76 (3)°. The intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2, Fig. 1) may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
In the crystal structure, the π–π contacts between the pyridine rings, Cg1—Cg2i and Cg3—Cg3ii [symmetry codes: (i) 2 - x, 1 - y, -z; (ii) -x, 2 - y, 1 - z, where Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are centroids of the rings A (N1/C1–C5), B (N3/C7–C11) and C (N5/C13–C17), respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.629 (3) Å and 3.595 (3) Å.
