In the title compound, [Hg(C32H30N4O)](PF6)2·CH3CN, the mercury(II) ion is coordinated by two carbene C atoms [Hg—C = 2.060 (6) and 2.066 (6) Å] and one ether O atom [Hg—O = 2.561 (5) Å] in a distorted T-shaped geometry with a C—Hg—C angle of 166.3 (3)°. One hexafluoridophosphate anion is rotationally disordered between two orientations with an approximate ratio of 2:1. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C—H⋯F and C—H⋯N interactions.

The ligand 1,1'-(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)bis[3-(1-naphthalenemethyl)imidazolium bis(hexafluoridophosphate) was prepared according to the reported procedure (Wang et al., 2006). Anhydrous Hg(OAc)2 (29.5 mg, 0.10 mmol) was added to a solution of the corresponding diazolium salt (77.0 mg, 0.10 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 ml) under argon. The mixture was refluxed for 12 h and then cooled to the room temperature. the acetonitrile was removed in vacuo to give a white solid which was washed with methanol to give the crude product. White single crystals of the title compound were obtained by recrystallization from acetonitile and ethyl ether (yield: 90%) Anal.

All H atoms were geometrically positioned [C—H= 0.93-0.96 Å] and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) =1.2-1.5Ueq(C). The six F atoms of one hexafluoridophosphate anion show rotational disorder, and they were refined as two groups sharing the same P atom with the occupancies refined to 0.676 (17) and 0.324 (17), respectively. The P—F and F—F distances were restrained to 1.56 (1) and 2.21 (1) Å, respectively. The displacement parameters of the disordered F atoms were also restrained to be approximately isotropic.

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. |

Nucleophilic heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have enjoyed wide applicability as ligands for transition metals in a variety of catalytic transformations since they were first isolated in 1991 (Arduengo et al., 1991).The silver, gold and palladium complexes of bis-NHC ligands bearing a weakly coordinating ether functionality have been reported (Wang et al., 2005; Nielsen et al., 2006). To study further the coordination chemistry of this ligand, we report here the crystal structure of the title complex, (I).
The title compound, [Hg(C32H30N4O)](PF6)2[CH3CN] (I), crystallizes with one (R)-2,2'-bis[1H-imidazole-3-oxyethyl-1-(1-menaphthyl)]-1,1'-binaphthyl mercury (II) cation, two hexafluoridophosphate anions and one acetonitrile solvate molecule in an asymmetric unit. The cation of (I) is a 10-membered macrocyclic metal complex of naphthyl-carbene ligand adopting a cis-conformation. The geometry of the Hg(II) coordination is distorted T-shaped, formed by two C(carbene) atoms [Hg—C = 2.060 (6) and 2.066 (6) Å] and one ether oxygen atom with bond angle C2—Hg1—O1=83.6 (2)°, C1—Hg1—O1= 82.9 (2)° and C1—Hg1—C2=166.3 (3)°,respectively. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C—H···F and C—H···N interactions (Table 1).
