Abstract

Reaction of ((Ar')NacNac)ZnI with potassium/mercury amalgam gave the trimetallic compound {((Ar')NacNac)Zn}2Hg () containing a Zn-Hg-Zn unit and the first example of a bond between two different Group 12 metals; DFT and QTAIM analyses suggest that 1 is best described as two formally Zn(i) atoms with a Hg(0) atom positioned between them; reactions of with stoichiometric I2, FpI or Fp2 gave addition products of the type ((Ar')NacNac)ZnX (X = I, Fp) and Hg. (Ar')NacNac = HC{C(Me)N(2,6-C6H3(i)Pr2)}2; Fp = CpFe(CO)2.
