An O₂S₃-macrocycle (L) was employed as a soft base ligating system. Five soft metal complexes (1-5) of L were prepared and structurally characterized. Both mercury(II) complexes with nitrate [Hg(L)(NO₃)₂] (1) and perchlorate [Hg(L)(DMF)₂](ClO₄)₂^.DMF (2) anions show a typical endocyclic structure. The silver(I) complexation is more challenging on the role of anions. For example, nitrate afforded a cyclic dimer complex [Ag₂(L)₂(NO₃)₂] (3) in which two exocyclic silver(I) link two facing macrocycles to give a metallacycle. While hexafluorophosphate gave a 1-D coordination polymer {[Ag(L)]PF₆}_n (4). In 4, macrocycles are linked by silver(I) in an L-Ag-L-Ag pattern. Interestingly, the reaction of L with AgCF₃SO₃ led to the isolation of a tetranuclear bis(macrocycle) complex, {[^endoAg(L)(CF₃SO₃)]₂[μ-^exoAg₂(CF₃SO₃)₂]} (5), dominated by the coordination modes of L toward two types of mercury(II) centers. For Instance, two endocyclic complex units, ^endoAg₂(L)₂(CF₃SO₃)₂, are linked by exocyclic metallacycle [μ-^exoAg₂(CF₃SO₃)₂] core to give a 4:2 (metal-to-ligand) stoichiometry.
