Amercury(Ⅱ)coordinationpolymerwith1,5,9-triselena[9]ferrocenophane(L),[HgI2L·0.5C4H4O·0.5CH3OH]n, has been synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structure shows that bridging by the ligand L causes compound to form one-dimensional chain. The half-wave potential of 1,1′-ferrocenylene group is more negative than that of the "free" ligand, which reveals no through-space interaction Hg…Fe in the coordination polymers.
