Zusammenfassung
The reactions of phosphorus ylides of the type Ph3P=C(H)C(O)R R =
2,4-dichlorophenyl (L (1) ) and 4-isopropylphenyl (L (2) ) with HgX2
X = Cl (1, 4), Br (2, 5) and I (3, 6) salts using methanol as a
solvent are reported. Single crystal X-ray analysis carried out on L (1)
, 2 and 3 and reveals the presence of a novel polymeric structure for 2
and a centrosymmeteric dimeric structure for 3. The complexes have been
studied by elemental analyses, IR, H-1 and P-31 NMR spectroscopy. On the
basis of DFT calculations, the formation of Hg2Br6(2-) anions in 2
has a key role in the formation of the polymeric structure; and, the
formation of Hg2L2I4 molecule thermodynamically is about 25 kcal/mol
more favorable than the corresponding Hg2L2Br4 molecule.
