Alkynyl(trimethylsilyl)mercurials are formed by a fast and quantitative reaction between bis(alkynyl)- and bis(trimethylsilyl)mercury in chloroform or benzene at ambient temperature.They decompose slowly in solution to alkynyltrimethylsilanes and mercury. 13C, 29Si, 199Hg NMR data serve for the characterization.The polarizability of the Hg-Si bond and the great polarizing ability of the alkynyl group is clearly reflected by the NMR data.
