Abstract

In the title salt, (C34H41N4Te)[HgI3(C4H8O2)], the aryl-tellurenium [C34H41N4Te]+ cations and [HgI3(dioxane)]- anions are linked by a short inter-action between the Te atom and one of the I-atom donors of the anion, as well as through weak C-H⋯I inter-actions. The geometry around the Te atom is T-shaped with the coordination comprising a C atom of the central aromatic ring and two N atom donors of the benzimidazolyl moiety. The Te-N bond lengths are almost equal [2.232 (3) and 2.244 (3) Å], while the Te-C bond length is 2.071 (4) Å. The N-Te-N bond angle is 150.68 (11)°. The HgII atom of the anion is coordinated by iodide ions from three sides and the fourth coordination site is occupied by an O atom of the solvent mol-ecule (dioxane). Thus, it attains a trigonal-pyrimidal geometry, with O-Hg-I angles ranging of 90.76 (8) and 96.76 (7)° and I-Hg-I angles ranging from 112.41 (1) to 125.10 (1)°. The cations and anions are involved in numerous weak π-π stacking inter-actions involving both the central phenyl ring and two inversion-related benzimidazole moieties, which propagate in the a-axis direction. In addition, there are numerous C-H⋯I inter-actions between the cations and anions, which link them into a complex three-dimension...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
