halides containing LOMe ligand demonstrated that the assembly process produced an infinite 1D linear chain, 1D double chain and 1D ladder chain in 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Structural analysis showed that compounds 4–6 have non-polymeric structures. 4 resulted in a trimeric/monomeric motif while isostructural 5 and 6 compounds formed a discrete three coordinated mercury compound. Our results show that
