Abstract

The reaction of HgCl 2 and Te(R)CH 2SiMe 3 [R = CH 2SiMe 3 ( 1), Ph ( 2)] in ethanol yielded a mononuclear complex [HgCl 2{Te(R)CH 2SiMe 3} 2] (R = Ph, 3a; R = CH 2SiMe 3, 3b). The recrystallization of 3a or 3b from CH 2Cl 2 produced a dinuclear complex [Hg 2Cl 2(μ-Cl) 2{Te(R)CH 2SiMe 3} 2] (R = Ph, 4a; R = CH 2SiMe 3, 4b). When 3a was dissolved in CH 2Cl 2, the solvent quickly removed, and the solid recrystallized from EtOH, a stable ionic [HgCl{Te(Ph)CH 2SiMe 3} 3]Cl·2EtOH ( 5a·2EtOH) was obtained. Crystals of [HgCl 2{Te(CH 2SiMe) 2}]·2HgCl 2·CH 2Cl 2 ( 6b·2HgCl 2·CH 2Cl 2) were obtained from the CH 2Cl 2 solution of 3b upon prolonged standing. The complex formation was monitored by 125Te-, and 199Hg NMR spectroscopy, and the crystal structures of the complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography.
