Abstract
Cleavage of Me 3SnM(Cp)(CO) 3 (M = Mo, W) by iodine in various solvents resulted in dominant SnM bond fission, accompanied by effervescence in more polar media due to displacement of CO by solvent. Similar cleavages occurred with mercuric salts but without CO elimination. Iodination of the triallyltin analogues proceeded by a more complex pathway, with some SnC bond fission which became dominant when mercuric salts were used as the electrophilic reagents. A very facile reaction occurred when the trimethyltin compounds were treated with RHgCl (R = Me, Ph and allyl) in acetone, yielding firstly RHgM(Cp)(CO) 3 which subsequently underwent a symmetrisation reaction in accordance with eqns. (1) and (2) ▪ The new organomercury derivatives obtained by reaction (1) were isolated and characterised. Infrared data indicated the absence of any marked interaction between the olefinic double bonds and M in the triallyltin derivatives.
