Mk. Morigaki et al., PREPARATION AND MOSSBAUER STUDY OF IRON-MERCURY COMPLEXES CONTAINING ISOCYANIDE AND CARBONYL LIGANDS, Transition metal chemistry, 19(6), 1994, pp. 599-602
Complexes [Fe(t-BuNC)(n)(CO)(5-n)] (n = 1 or 2) react with equimolar a
mounts of mercury(II) halides in acetone to form neutral iron-mercury
adducts [Fe(t-BuNC)(CO)(4)(HgX(2))] and [Fe(t-BuNC)(2)(CO)(3)(HgX(2))]
(X = Cl or I), while [Fe(t-BuNC)(5)] reacts with solid mercury halide
s in petroleum ether to give the salts [Fe(t-BuNC)(5)(HgX)]HgX(3) (X =
Br or I). Product assessment was based upon analytical and spectrosco
pic data, the Mossbauer effect and on molar conductivity studies.
