| Abstract: | Structures of Bis(trifluoromethyl)halogeno and thiocyanato Mercurates, [Hg(CF3)2X]— (X = Br, I, SCN), and a Comparison of the Structural Parameters of the CF3 Groups [(18‐C‐6)K]2[Hg(CF3)2SCN]2 (1) and [P(CH3)(C6H5)3]2[Hg(CF3)2X]2 (X = Br (2) , I (3) ) are prepared and their crystal structures are determined. [(18‐C‐6)K]2[Hg(CF3)2SCN]2 (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 2, [P(CH3)(C6H5)3]2[Hg(CF3)2Br]2 (2) in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 2 and [P(CH3)(C6H5)3]2[Hg(CF3)2I]2 (3) in the triclinic space group P1¯ with Z = 1. In the solid state the three compounds form dimeric anions with planar Hg2X2 rings. The structural parameters of the Hg(CF3)2 units in the till now known bis(trifluoromethyl)halogeno mercurates are compared. In all compounds one nearly symmetric and one distorted CF3 group exist. The largest differences of the C—F bond lengths is found for [(18‐C‐6)K][Hg(CF3)2I]. This can be regarded as the experimental evidence for the properties of trifluoromethyl mercury compounds to act as excellent difluorocarbene sources in the presence of alkali iodides. |
