Abstract
The reactions between R1 2Hg (R1= Ph or Me) and (R2 3P)2MCl2(M = Pt, Pd, or Ni) to yield R1HgCl and trans-(R2 3P)2MR1Cl have been examined. The reactions with R1= Ph proceed more readily than those with R1= Me. Reverse reactions between HgCl2 and (R2 3P)2MR1 2 produce the same products. R1 2Hg and the carbonyl complexes (R2 3P)(CO)PtCl2 react to give R1HgCl and the binuclear chlorine-bridged compounds (R2 3P)2Pt2Cl2(R1CO)2. No carbonyl insertion is observed when R1Li replaces R1 2Hg, and Grignard reagents lead to a complex mixture of products. The mechanisms of the mercurial reactions are discussed.Keywords
