X-Ray crystal structure of [N(CH2CH2PPh2)3]2Co2(µ-Hg2); the dimeric Hg22+ion forms a linear bridge between the two cobalt atoms

Abstract
The reaction of [(np3)CoCl]BPh4{np3=[N(CH2CH2PPh2)3]} with sodium amalgam gives the tetrametallic complex (np3)Co(µ-Hg2)Co(np3).thf (thy = tetrahydrofuran) the X-ray structural analysis of which shows that the Hg2 2+ ion linearly bridges two Co(np3) moieties.
