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}](infinity) (1).
