The organomercurial compounds Hg[1-C(6)H(4)-2-C(H)=NC(6)H(5-n)R(n)](2) (R = 4-NMe(2), 6a; 4-Me, 6b; 4-I, 6c; 4-NO(2), 6d; 2-(i)Pr, 6e; 2-Me, 6f; 2,6-(i)Pr(2), 6g; 2,6-Me(2), 6h) have been prepared in good overall yield from 2-bromobenzaldehyde. All of the compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, (1)H NMR, (13)C[(1)H] NMR, and infrared spectroscopy. In addition, compounds 6a [C(30)H(30)HgN(4), triclinic, P, a = 6.20000(10) A, b = 9.2315(2) A, c = 10.9069(3) A, alpha = 85.8510(10) degrees, beta = 89.3570(10) degrees, gamma = 87.206(2) degrees, Z = 1], 6b [C(28)H(24)HgN(2), monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 12.8260(5) A, b = 14.0675(4) A, c = 6.1032(2) A, beta = 90.0990(10) degrees, Z = 2], 6g [C(38)H(44)HgN(2), triclinic, P, a = 8.2626(2) A, b = 9.8317(2) A, c = 11.8873(3) A, alpha = 103.6650(10) degrees, beta = 109.3350(10) degrees, gamma = 104.627(2) degrees, Z = 1], and 6h [C(30)H(28)HgN(2), monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 12.5307(2) A, b = 10.9852(2) A, c = 18.2112(2) A, beta = 104.0190(10) degrees, gamma = 87.206(2) degrees, Z = 4] have been characterized by low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, and two different molecular geometries about the central mercury atom have been observed; intramolecular contacts suggest a van der Waals radius for Hg of 2.1-2.2 A. |
