The supramolecular chemistry of coordination compounds has become an important research domain of modern inorganic chemistry. Herein, six isostructural group IIB coordination compounds containing a 2-{[(2-methoxyphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol ligand, namely dichloridobis(2-{(E)-[(2-methoxyphenyl)azaniumylidene]methyl}phenolato-κO)zinc(II), [ZnCl2(C28H26N2O4)], 1, diiodidobis(2-{(E)-[(2-methoxyphenyl)azaniumylidene]methyl}phenolato-κO)zinc(II), [ZnI2(C28H26N2O4)], 2, dibromidobis(2-{(E)-[(2-methoxyphenyl)azaniumylidene]methyl}phenolato-κO)cadmium(II), [CdBr2(C28H26N2O4)], 3, diiodidobis(2-{(E)-[(2-methoxyphenyl)azaniumylidene]methyl}phenolato-κO)cadmium(II), [CdI2(C28H26N2O4)], 4, dichloridobis(2-{(E)-[(2-methoxyphenyl)azaniumylidene]methyl}phenolato-κO)mercury(II), [HgCl2(C28H26N2O4)], 5, and diiodidobis(2-{(E)-[(2-methoxyphenyl)azaniumylidene]methyl}phenolato-κO)mercury(II), [HgI2(C28H26N2O4)], 6, were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic techniques. All six compounds exhibit an infinite one-dimensional ladder in the solid state governed by the formation of hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking interactions. The crystal structures of these compounds were studied using geometrical and Hirshfeld surface analyses. They have also been studied using M06-2X/def2-TZVP calculations and Bader's theory of `atoms in molecules'. The energies associated with the interactions, including the contribution of the different forces, have been evaluated. In general, the π–π stacking interactions are stronger than those reported for conventional π–π complexes, which is attributed to the influence of the metal coordination, which is stronger for Zn than either Cd or Hg. The results reported herein might be useful for understanding the solid-state architecture of metal-containing materials that contain M II X 2 subunits and aromatic organic ligands.

Three flexible α,ѡ-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl)alkane ligands with different spacers were reacted with CdX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) hydrothermally, resulting in three coordination architectures, namely [CdI2(L1)]n (1), [CdBr2(L2)]n (2), and Cd2Cl4(L3)2 (3) [L1 = 1,3-bis(5,6- dimethylbenzimidazole)propane, L2 = 1,5-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)pentane, L3 = 1,6- bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)hexane]. They have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1displays a helical chain linked by the ligands L1, and a 2D supramolecular network is constructed through π-π stacking interactions; complex 2shows a helical chain structure with connections through two kinds of strong π-π stacking interactions into an intricate 3D supramolecular network; complex 3 contains dinuclear metallomacrocycles. The fluorescence properties of 1-3have been investigated in the solid state
