The reactions of mercury(II) chloride with O3S2-donor macrocyclic ligands with (L1) and without (L2) dibenzosubunit afforded respective exo- (1) and endo-coordinated (2) complexes depending on the ring rigidity of the ligands. From the X-ray crystal structures and comparative NMR studies for the complexes 1 and 2, it is confirmed that the resulting species with different coordination modes exist not only in solid state but also in solution state.

Synthesis and structural characterization of mercury(II) halides and perchlorate complexes (1-4) of bis-$OS_2$-macrocycle (L) are reported. L reacts with mercury(II) chloride and bromide to yield an isostructural 2D coordination polymers with type $[Hg(L)X_2]_n$ (1: X = Cl and 2: X = Br). In 1, each Hg atom which lies outside the cavity is six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral geometry, being bound to four adjacent ligands via monodentate Hg-S bonds and two remaining sites are occupied by two terminal chlorido ligands to form a fishnet-like 2D structure. When reacting with mercury(II) iodide, L afforded a 1D coordination polymer $\{[Hg_2(L)I_4]{\cdot}CHCl_3\}_n$ (3) in which each exocyclic Hg atom is four-coordinate, being bound to two sulfur donors from different ligands doubly bridging the ligand molecules in a head-to-tail mode. The coordination sphere in 3 is completed by two iodo terminal ligands, adopting a distorted tetrahedral geometry. On reacting with mercury(II) perchlorate, L forms solvent-coordinated 1D coordination polymer $\{[Hg_2(L)(DMF)_6](ClO_4)_4{\cdot}2DMF\}_n$ (4) instead of the anion-coordination. In 4, the Hg atom is five-coordinate, being bound to two sulfur donors from two different ligands doubly bridging the ligand molecules in a side-by-side mode to form a ribbon-like 1D structure. The three remaining coordination sites in 4 are completed by three DMF molecules in a monodentate manner. Consequently, the different structures and connectivity patterns for the observed exocyclic coordination polymers depending on the anions used are influenced not only by the coordination ability of the anions but also by anion sizes.

Isomeric series of dilinked $NO_2S_2$ macrocycles ($L^2$: para-, $L^3$: meta- and $L^4$: ortho-linked) capable of binuclear complexing ability were prepared from its monomeric analog $L^1$ in reasonable yields except ortho-type reaction, which led to mixture due to the formation of monomer-type macrocyclic quaternary ammonium bromide $L^5$. Moreover, L2 (as $2HNO_3$ form) and $L^5$ were confirmed by an X-ray crystallography. Reaction of $HgCl_2$ with $L^2$ yielded a binuclear complex $[Hg_2(L^2)Cl_4]$. In the complex, each mercury(II) has a distorted tetrahedral environment made up of S and N donors from an exodentate $L^2$ and two coordinated Cl atoms.

This study was conducted to establish an in vitro propagation system for sea-milkwort (Glaux maritima L.), which is an endangered coastal plant species with high horticultural value. Two phenotypes, 'Red type (RT)' and 'Pistachio type (PT)' based on the colors of stem and flower, were obtained from a personal horticulturist in 2009 and used for this study as plant materials. The stock plants showed typical morphologies in flower, capsule, and seed appearances as previously reported. Low temperature treatment at $4^{\circ}C$ for four or more weeks after in vitro sowing maximized seed germination percentage, indicating that imbibition of seed and subsequent low temperature treatment are crucial for its germination. The in vitro seedlings had phenotypic variation, falling into 'RT' and 'PT' classes like the stock plants. Although slight differences depending on genotype and medium were recognized, the fourth or fifth nodes detached from the in vitro seedlings revealed the best multiplication efficacy when estimated on the basis of total number of nodes of newly developed axillary shoots. In addition, the nodes from 'RT' and 'PT' regenerated the most shoots on medium supplemented with $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA alone and $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA plus $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IAA, respectively. The node culture-derived plantlets were well acclimatized in a culture room ex vitro and completed the pseudo-annual life cycle coincident with that in the natural salt march habitat with the current cultivation method of applying fresh water-irrigation under an inland environment. This work represents the first report of in vitro propagation of sea-milkwort. Thus, our study will contribute to exo-habitat conservation and natural habitat restoration of this endangered species in addition to development of a horticultural product.
