Abstract
The problem of stabilizing the linear clusters of mercury by terminal groups is discussed in terms of the MNDO method for the following mode l and real compounds: Hg-n (I), HgnCl2 (II), and Hg-n(AlCl4)(2) (III) with n = 2-4. It is shown that the terminal acceptor groups stabilize the linear mercury chains. It is established that in systems (II) and (III), unlike in (I), the highest occupied molecular orbitals are bond ing.
