| Abstract
1 : 1 Complexes of mercury(II) cyanide with 2-benzylpyridine, 4-picolylamine,
2-benzoylpyridine, 4-benzoylpyridine, 1,3-bis-(4-pyridyl) propane,
quinoline, 6-methylquinoline; benzo(f)quinoline, isoquinoline,
3-methylisoquinoline, nicotinamide and N-methylnicotinamide have
been synthesized. Molar conductances, molecular weight determinations
and infrared spectral measurements down to 200 cm–1 show that all
these compounds are neutral species having monomeric three-coordinated
environments around mercury(II) in the solid state. |
