Abstract
The kinetics of dimerization of beta-naphthylmercuric chloride in the presence of [ClRh (CO)(2)](2) has been studied in hexamethylphosphoram ide. The dimerization has been found to be second order and the kineti c parameters of the dimerization have been reported. Both alpha-naphth ylmercuric chloride and alpha-bromomercuriphenylacetate have not been dimerized under the same reaction conditions, which has been explained on the basis of the proposed mechanism. The organic rhodium(I) interm ediate formed in the alpha-bromomercuriphenyl-acetate case was isolate d and identified.
