Organomercury Compounds XI. Some Coordination Derivatives of Bispentafluorophenylmercury

The oomplexes (C6F5)2HgL (L = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl, 2,2'-biquinolyl, 2,2':6',2 -terpyridyl2479-tetramethyl-1lO-phenanthroline ethylenediamine o-phenylenediamine diphenylamine pyridine 4-cyanopyridine triphenylphosphine triphenylphosphine oxide or 12-bisdiphenylarsinoethane) (C6F5)HgL2 (L = di-2-pyridylamine) and [(C6F5)2Hg]L (L = bisdiphenylphosphinomethane or bisdiphenylarsinomethane) have been prepared and their constitution solution stabilities and structures studied together with those of the known complexes (C6F5)2HgL (L = 22'- bipyridyl1lO-phenanthroline or 12-bisdiphenylphosphinoethane). Coordination of triphenylarsine oxide to bispentafluorophenylmercury in solution has also been detected but the complex could not be isolated."
