Abstract
Haloacetic acids cleave one of the two Ph-Hg bonds of diphenylmercury under mild conditions providing thereby a direct synthetic route to a number of phenylmercury(II) haloacetates, PhHgOOCR (R = CH2I, CH2Br, C H2Cl, CCl3 or CF3) in nearly quantitative yield. Interaction of these arylmercuric haloacetates with ligands having atoms of Group VB elemen ts (N, P, As or Sb) as donors, gives rise to molecular adducts of 1:1 or 2:1 (in case of diphos) stoichiometry which are monomeric and non-e lectrolytes in nitrobenzene.
