Popis: With its proximal orientation of Hg(II) atoms, intrinsic accessibility to electrophilic sites on the molecular surface and perfluorinated periphery responsible for its electron-withdrawing nature, trimeric perfluoro- ortho -phenylenemercury, ( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 , has demonstrated a capacity to form a wide variety of supramolecular adducts. In these complexes, the Lewis acid ( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 interacts with numerous Lewis bases via supramolecular interactions to stabilize the adduct. Even though various non-covalent interactions between ( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 and a particular substrate can occur, in most cases a single interaction has the greatest influence on the overall crystal structure. In this contribution, we report the synthetic, structural, and luminescence properties of a dual organometallic adduct coupling ( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde (FcCA) [( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 ·(FcCA)] 1 . Special attention will be given to highlight the various supramolecular interactions within 1 and how these influence crystal packing. The dominating supramolecular interaction within 1 is Hg⋯O contacts between the carbonyl group from FcCA and the three mercury atom core within ( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 . The luminescence spectrum of 1 confirmed the non-covalent interaction between the carbonyl oxygen on FcCA and the Lewis acid ( o -C 6 F 4 Hg) 3 .
