Conclusions
-
1.
In o-chloromercuryphenols there is no intramolecular hydrogen bond with the HgCl group, while the OH group is primarily in the trans-position with respect to it.
-
2.
An increase in the ability for autoassociation of o-chloromercury derivatives of phenol was established. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with coordinating solvents was evaluated quantitatively.
