Organomercury derivatives of the 2,4,6-trimercaptotriazine (H 3TMT). X-ray crystal structure of (HgMe) 3(TMT)

Abstract

By reaction of RHgCl with Na 3(C 3N 3S 3)·9H 2O, organomercury derivatives of formulae (HgR) 3(C 3N 3S 3) (R=Me, Et), have been synthesized and characterized. The methyl-derivative has been completely studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal and molecular structure consists of discrete (HgMe) 3(C 3N 3S 3) units, where the triazine ligand is linked through the sulfur atoms to three HgMe moieties in a “manxane” arrangement.
