EXPERIMENTAL
All reagents and solvents for synthesis and analysis
were commercially available and used as received
without further purifications. Infrared spectra were
recorded using KBr disks on a FTꢀIR PerkinElmer
spectrophotometer. Elemental analyses were carried
out using a Heraeus CHNꢀOꢀRapid analyzer, and
results agreed with calculated values. 1H NMR spectra
were measured on a BRUKER DRXꢀ500 AVANCE
spectrometer at 500 MHz for the Schiffꢀbase ligands
and their complexes. All chemical shifts are reported
Synthesis of II. To a stirring solution of the (234ꢀ
MeOꢀBa)2En ligand (0.2 mmol, in 5 ml of acetonitrile)
was added HgCl2 (0.2 mmol) in 20 ml methanol, and the
mixture was refluxed for 30 min in air. The solvent was
evaporator on a rotary evaporated at 40°C under reduced
pressure. The white solid residue was dissolved in 15 ml of
chloroform and filtered off. The filtrate was left at 273 K
for several days without disturbance of yielding microcꢀ
rystals of II that subsequently were filtered off and washed
with Et2O. The yield of colorless crystals was 75%.

Synthesis of (234ꢀMeOꢀBa)2En. A solution of 2,3,4ꢀ
trimethoxybenzaldehyde (3.92 g, 0.02 mol) in 25 ml
methanol was heated for 15 min at 50°C and then stirred
for about 15 min . To this stirring solution, a solution of
ethylenediamine (0.6 g, 0.01 mol) in 15 ml methanol was
added dropwise with constant stirring. The mixture was
heated at about 50°C for 1.5 h and then allowed to cool
overnight at 273 K. The resulting crude solid was collectꢀ
ed by filtration and dried at room temperature. Crystals
were grown by the slow evaporation technique at room
temperature in 25 ml of methanol as a solvent for 5 days.
At the period of supersaturation, tiny crystals were nucleꢀ
ated. They were allowed to grow to a maximum possible
dimension and then filtered. The yield of colorless crysꢀ
tals was 88%.
