Abstract:
PhHgOAc is converted into Ph2Hg via a symmetrization process, in the absence of an auxiliary ligand, at 6.5≥pH\textgreater4.0. Arylmercuric salts, in which the arom. rings contain more than 1 electron donating group, symmetrize in the absence of an auxiliary ligand at a basic pH. Both processes proceed in water or in mixts. of org. solvents and water. The factors influencing the symmetrization at different pH values are discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]
