New phenylmercury(II) complexes 1–5 with functionalized β-oxodithioester ligands, [PhHg(II) (β-oxodithioester)], β-oxodithioester = methyl-3-hydroxy-3-(4-pyridyl)-2-propenedithioate L1 1, methyl-3-hydroxy-3-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-propenedithioate L2 2, methyl-3-hydroxy-3-(naphthyl)-2-propenedithioate L3 3, methyl-3-hydroxy-3-(9-anthracenyl)-2-propenedithioate L4 4 and methyl-3-hydroxy-3-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-propenedithioate L5 5, were synthesized and characterized by elemental (C, H, N) analysis, IR, UV-Vis., ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. Their structures have been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Linear two-coordinate geometry about the Hg atom, via ipso-C of the phenyl group and by S15 atom of the β-oxodithioester ligands is revealed in all complexes. Intramolecular Hg···O bonding at 2.622(10)–2.813(6) Å is present in all the complexes. In 1–3, the asymmetric unit contains a single discrete molecule whereas complexes 4 and 5 contain two. Except for 4 having bulky anthracene substituent, intriguing supramolecular networks are sustained through intermolecular metal assisted Hg···S and Hg···N and Cl···Cl, Cl···π, S···S, C–H···S, C–H···F, C–H···π interactions in these complexes. In 1 the pyridyl N on 4-position on the substituent is involved in Hg···N bonding interactions on the neighboring molecule at 2.938(7) Å generating a 2-D net-like polymeric structure. All the complexes showed bright green luminescent emissions both in solution and solid phase. The complexes (σ_rt values = 10⁻³–10⁻⁶ S cm⁻¹) show semiconducting characteristics with Ea values = 0.14–0.64 eV. The electronic and steric properties of the substituents on the dithioester unit significantly influence their structures and properties.
