Abstract

Mercury(I) chloride disproportionates to mercury metal and bis(organothiolato)mercury(II) in the presence of some thiols in good yields. The products were analyzed by means of 1HNMR and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), which indicated that the complexes are monomers in the gas phase and decomposed at elevated temperature to mercury(0) and corresponding disulfides.
