Abstract

The ‘blue adduct’ formed from the decomposition of the red ‘Cp 2Fe*7HgCl 2’ and formulated as ‘Cp 2Fe*2HgCl 2’ was characterized by X-ray crystallography as the ring-mercurated ferricenium salt [(C 5H 5)Fe(C 5H 4HgCl)] 2[Hg 2Cl 6]. For comparison, the neutral [(C 5H 5)Fe(C 5H 4HgCl)] was also studied by single-crystal diffractometry. Both compounds have the HgCl group within the plane of the cyclopentadienyl ring with no Fe–Hg interaction.
