Reaction of alkoxyl organomercury compounds with chloroform

Conclusions Derivatives of trichloromethylmercury RHgCCl₃ (R=n-C₃H₇, cyclo-C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅CH₂, and C₆H₅), which are stable in the absence of air, were obtained in almost quantitative yield by the reaction of the corresponding mercury tert-butoxides RHgOC(CH₃)₃ with chloroform at room temperature.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2803–2805, December, 1968.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of triphenyl[tris(tetrahydrofuran)]ytterbium, Ph3Yb(THF)3

Triphenyl[tris(tetrahydrofuran)]ytterbium, Ph₃Yb(THF)₃ (1), was synthesized in high yields by the reaction of Yb with an excess of Ph₂Hg or Ph₃Bi in the presence of catalytic amounts of YbI₂(THF)₄ as well as by the reaction of Ph₂Yb(THF)₂ (2) with Ph₂Hg or Ph₃Bi. The crystal structure of complex1 was studied by X-ray structural analysis. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 163–166, January, 1998.     

Reactions of Bis(phenylethynyl)ytterbium with Trimethylsilicon,Triphenylgermanium, and Triphenyltin Chlorides

The ytterbium phenylethynyl compound (PhCC)₂Yb(THF)₄ reacts with trimethylsilicon, triphenylgermanium, and triphenyltin chloride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature to give the corresponding cross-coupling products: phenylethynylytterbium chloride PhCCYbCl(THF)₂ and ytterbium chloride YbCl₂(THF)₂.     

Reaction of alkoxyl organomercury compounds with secondary amines

Conclusions The reactions of the tert-butylates of n-propylmercury, isopropylmercury and phenylmercury with diethylamine are accompanied by the formation of compounds that contain the Hg-N bond. As a result, we were the first to obtain diethylaminophenylmercury. The latter reacts with chloroform at room temperature to give phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp.474–475, February, 1973.     

Reactivity of Triphenylmethyl and Triphenylgermyl Derivatives of Lanthanides

Reactions of bis(triphenylmethyl)ytterbium and bis(triphenylgermyl)ytterbium with mercuric chloride, triphenylbismuth, iodine, tert-butyl alcohol, phenylacetylene, and cyclopentadiene were studied. The higher reactivity of the former compound in these reactions is explained by that the chemical bond in it is ionic, whereas in its germyl analog, covalent.
