Abstract
The reaction of the dilithio compound 1,3-[{Li(tmeda)}(2){C6H4(CHSiMe3 )(2)}] (2) with Hg(OAc)(2) followed by treatment with aqueous HCl is h ighly stereoselective and yields quantitatively meso-1,3-[C6H4(CHSiMe3 HgCl)(2)] (3). In the solid state, molecules of 3 are connected throug h the formation of intermolecular head-to-tail Hg2Cl2 bridges. The res ulting polymer has a ladder-type structure.
