The complexes (R = Ph, p-MeC6H4 or But) react with Hg in the presence of CNR to give HgI2>, and exchange reactions with AgX (X = Br or Cl) lead to the corresponding halogeno-complexes HgX2>.Treatment with 1 mol of AgClO4 affords the cationic complexes ClO4 which are unstable towards mercury extrusion.The relative stability of the complexes is discussed in terms of the influence of the ligands co-ordinated to Hg and the steric and electronic characteristics of the RNC ligands.The structure of HgI2> has been determined: monoclinic, space group P21/a, a = 16.680(3), b = 18.031(4), c = 15.256(2) Angstroem, β = 116.92(2) deg and Z = 4.
