Abstract

Reaction of phosphorus ylides Ph(3)PCHC(O)C(6)H(4)NO(2)(Y') and (p-tolyl)(3)PCHC(O)C(6)H(4)Cl (Y `') with HgX(2) (X = Cl, Br and I) in equimolar ratios using methanol as solvent leads to binuclear products. The bridge-splitting reaction of binuclear complex (Y `') center dot HgI(2)(2) by DMSO yields the mononuclear complex (Y `') center dot HgI(2) center dot DMSO. This bridge-splitting reaction can be also a method for the synthesis of mononuclear products. C-coordination of ylides and O-coordination of DMSO are demonstrated by single crystal X-ray analyses of binuclear complexes of (Y') center dot HgI(2)(2) and (Y `') center dot HgI(2)(2) and mononuclear complex of (Y `') center dot HgI(2) center dot DMSO. Characterization of the obtained compounds was also performed by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H, (31)P, and (13)C NMR. Theoretical studies on Hg(II) complexes of Y' show that the cis-like isomers are about 4-12 kcal/mol less stable than the trans-like structures and the relative energy of cis- and trans-like isomers significantly depends on the size of the bridging halide. These studies on mercury complexes of Y `' show that, formation of mononuclear complexes in DMSO solution in which DMSO acts as a ligand, energetically is more favorable than that of binuclear complexes.
