Abstract
A crystallographic investigation of the structure of (methyl- and phenyl- barenyl)mercury bromide and (phenylbarenyl)mercury iodide has been undertaken. The bond lenghts of the HgBr and HgI bonds of these compounds are unchanged in comparison with those in compounds containing less electron-acceptor radicals. Only in the case of the (phenylbarenyl)mercury iodide does the intermolecular contact Hg…I decrease (3.29 Å instead of the usual 3.81−4.2 Å). In the crystal state (phenylbarenyl)mercury iodide was observed to undergo spontaneous symmetrization. This effect has been explained in terms of the strong intermolecular coordination between the mercury and iodine atoms of the two molecules in the crystallographic dimer.
