Popis: The synthesis of bis(carbonyl)mercury(II) undecafluorodiantimonate(V), [Hg(CO)(2)][Sb(2)F(11)](2), and that of the corresponding mercury(I) salt [Hg(2)(CO)(2)][Sb(2)F(11)](2) are accomplished by the solvolyses of Hg(SO(3)F)(2) or of Hg(2)F(2), treated with fluorosulfuric acid, HSO(3)F, in liquid antimony(V) fluoride at 80 or 60 degrees C, respectively, in an atmosphere of CO (500-800 mbar). The resulting white solids are the first examples of metal carbonyl derivatives formed by a post-transition element. Both salts are characterized by FT-IR, FT-Raman, and (13)C-MAS-NMR spectroscopy. For [Hg(CO)(2)][Sb(2)F(11)], unprecedentedly high CO stretching frequencies (nu(av) = 2279.5 cm(-)(1)) and stretching force constant (f(r) = 21.0 +/- 0.1) x 10(2) Nm(-)(1)) are obtained. Equally unprecedented is the (1)J((13)C-(199)Hg) value of 5219 +/- 5 Hz observed in the (13)C MAS-NMR spectrum of the (13)C labeled isotopomers at delta = 168.8 +/- 0.1 ppm. The corresponding values (nu(av) = 2247 cm(-)(1), f(r) = (20.4 +/- 0.1) x 10(2) Nm(-)(1), (1)J((13)C-(199)Hg) = 3350 +/- 50 Hz and (2)J((13)C-(199)Hg) 850 +/- 50 Hz) are found for [Hg(2)(CO)(2)][Sb(2)F(11)](2), which has lower thermal stability (decomposition point in a sealed tube is 140 degrees C vs 160 degrees C for the Hg(II) compound) and a decomposition pressure of 8 Torr at 20 degrees C. The mercury(I) salt is sensitive toward oxidation to [Hg(CO)(2)][Sb(2)F(11)](2) during synthesis. Both linear cations (point group D(infinity)(h)()) are excellent examples of nonclassical (sigma-only) metal-CO bonding. Crystal data for [Hg(CO)(2)][Sb(2)F(11)](2): monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n; Z = 2; a = 7.607(2) A; b = 14.001(3) A; c = 9.730(2) A; beta = 111.05(2) degrees; V = 967.1 A(3); T = 195 K; R(F) = 0.035 for 1983 data (I(o) >/= 2.5sigma(I(o))) and 143 variables. The Hg atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center. The Hg-C-O angle is 177.7(7) degrees. The length of the mercury-carbon bond is 2.083(10) A and of the C-O bond 1.104(12) A respectively. The structure is stabilized in the solid state by a number of significant secondary interionic Hg- - -F and C- - -F contacts.
