Reaction of mercury(II) acetate with the 1,3-alternate conformer of p-
tert-butyltetramercaptocalix[4]arene, obtained by a highly efficient s
ynthesis starting from p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, leads to a binuclear
complex in which both mercury ions are linearly coordinated to two ar
enethiolates groups.
