Abstract: | The compounds Hg2(μ—SePh)2(SePh)2(PPh3)2] ( I ) and Hg3Br3(μ—SePh)3] · 2 DMSO ( II ) are formed by reactions of Hg(SePh)2] with PPh3 in THF( I ) or with HgBr2 in DMSO ( II ) at room temperature. X—ray crystallography reveals that the cluster I consists of a distorted square built by each two Hg and Se atoms. The Hg atoms have almost tetrahedral co‐ordination environments formed by selenium atoms of two (μ‐—SePh) ligands and Se and P atoms of terminal —SePh and PPh3 ligands. The compound II is a six‐membered ring with alternating Hg and Se atoms in the chair conformation. Two DMSO molecules occupy positions below and above the Hg3Se3] ring with the oxygen atoms directed to the centre of the ring. |
