title: Formation of a 1D-polymeric chain of Hg building blocks through C-C coupling under ambient conditions.
abstract: A novel C-C coupled 1D-polymeric chain (1) is obtained by reaction of HgCl2 and hmp-H (2-(2-hydroxymethyl pyridine)) (1 : 1) in MeOH at ambient temperature. However, a new class of μ-oxo and μ-chloro bridged polymers (2) has been obtained by altering the metal : ligand ratio to 1 : 2.
