Preparation and spectral investigation of bis[N(2-methyl-phenyl) 4-nitro-thiobenzamidato]-mercury(II), bis[N(2-methoxy-phenyl) 4-nitro-thiobenzamidato]mercury(II), and bis[N(2-chloro-phenyl) 4-nitro-thiobenzamidato]mercury(II) complexes

Abstract

Several preparative routes to bis[N(substituted-phenyl) 4-nitro-thiobenzamidato] mercury(II) complexes are presented, including the reaction of mercury(II) oxide, fluoride, chloride, bromide, cyanide, acetate, and nitrate with N(substituted-phenyl) 4-nitro-thiobenzamide derivatives. 1H-NMR, Raman, and IR measurements confirmed the complexation of mercury to sulphur.
