Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Metallic mercury when irradiated with UV light in benzene inserts itself at the M-I bond in C5H5·M(CO)3I (M=Mo, W), with the formation of C5H5M(CO)3HgI. In the case of C5H5Mo(CO)3Br, a mixture of C5H5Mo(CO)3HgBr and [C5H5Mo(CO)3]2Hg was isolated. In the case of C5H5M(CO)3Cl (M=Mo, W) only [C5H5M(CO)3]2Hg was isolated.

  2. 2.

    The C5H5M(CO)3HgHal (M=Mo, Hal=Cl, Br, I; M=W, Hal=Cl) compounds are symmetrized to differentdegrees during TLC on Al2O3.

  3. 3.

    The [C5H5M(CO)3]2 (M=Mo, W) compounds react with metallic mercury to give [C5H5M(CO)3]2Hg.

  4. 4.

    C5H5W(CO)3Br and C5H5Mo(CO)2[P(C6H5)3]I do not react with metallic mercury, and the first compound also does not react in the presence of Hg2Br2.
