4-Me2NC6H4HgOH was prepared from 4-Me2NC6H4HgOAc. Full characterisation showed that it crystallises as discrete molecules, the first example of a true organomercury hydroxide in the solid state. The structures of 4-Me2NC6H4HgOAc and (4-Me2NC6H4)2Hg are also discussed.

(Acylmethylidyne)- and (aroylmethylidyne)tricobalt nonacarbonyl complexes undergo reduction with molecular hydrogen in refluxing benzene with no added catalyst at atmospheric pressure to produce the respective (α-hydroxyalkylidyne)tricobalt nonacarbonyls and , in some cases, the completely reduced alkylidynetricobalt nonacarbonyls.These tricobalt-carbon cluster-substituted ketones also undergo complete reduction to the corresponding alkylidynetricobalt nonacarbonyl when treated with tetrafluoroacetic acid in refluxing benzene. (Acylmethylidyne)- and (aroylmethylidyne)tricobalt nonacarbonyl complexes also were found to undergo facile thermal decarbonylation to yield the corresponding (alkylmethylidyne)- and (aroylmethylidyne)tricobalt nonacarbonyl complexes.These unusual reactions were attributed to the uniqueness of the C=O bond in these ketones, and a discussion of possible mechanisms is included.In addition, it was found that in refluxing benzene (α-hydroxyalkylidyne)tricobalt nonacarbonyl complexes revert to the respective ketone complexes.
