Abstract
The reaction of 4-Me–C5H3N–2-NH(PPh2) (1) and monooxidized selenoyl (4-CH3)C6H3N-2-NH(P(Se)Ph2) (2) ligands with HgX2 (X = Cl, I) in acetone yielded the dimeric complexes [HgCl2]2[{1-κ2P,N}{1-κP}] (3) and [HgI2{1-κ2P,N}]2 (4), as well as [HgX2{2-κ2Se,Npy}] (5, X = Cl; 6, X = I) derivatives. Complexes 3–6 were isolated and characterized utilizing multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, and 31P) and infrared spectroscopy. The molecular structures of compounds 1 and 3–6 were elucidated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes 3–6 constitute the first structurally defined complexes of these ligands with mercury metal identified to date. Dimer 3 is distinguished by the presence of Hg(II) metals exhibiting coordination numbers of five and four inside a single complex.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
