Crystal structure and solid-state31P CP-MAS NMR spectrum of the bis(trifluoroacetato) (triphenylphosphine)mercury(II) dimer [Hg(CF3CO2)2PPh3]2

The title compound belongs to the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c,a=20.29(1),b=12.644(8),c=18.25(1), Å,=95.76(5)°. The unit cell contains two dimeric [Hg(CF₃CO₂)₂PPh₃]₂ molecules in which each Hg atom forms strong primary bonds to a PPh₃ molecule and an oxygen of a monodentate trifluoroacetate ligand. These two Hg atoms are bridged by two extra trifluoroacetate ligands, one providing a single oxygen to a Hg-O-Hg bridge, the other including both carboxylate oxygens in a Hg-O-C-O-Hg bridging moiety. This unusual type of bridging makes the two halves of the molecule symmetry independent, leading to distinct signals at 31.5 and 29.9 ppm for the phosphines in the³¹P CP-MAS NMR spectrum of the solid complex.
