Abstract

Mercury compounds of the types HgR1R (R1= C (SiMe3) 3; R= Me, iPr, Bu, tBu or Ph) and HgR2R (R2= C (SiMe2Ph) 3; R= Me, Bu, CH2Ph or Ph) have been prepared. Those containing R1 were made by reactions of the bromides HgR1Br with the Grignard reagents MgRX, and those containing R2 by reaction of HgR2Cl with LiR or, for R= CH2Ph, with Mg (CH2Ph) Cl. Replacement of one R group in HgR2 by the bulky R1 or R2 group leads to a ...
