Anion-modulated reversible conversion of molecular assembly between a macrocycle and a linear chain.
Interaction of a flexible thioether ligand with mercury(II) acetate and iodide, respectively, yielded two compounds with structural motifs of a macrocycle and a 1D polymer, whose structural patterns were dominated by anions and could be reversibly changed.
