VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA OF ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS .I. ALKYL AND ARYL COMPOUNDS OF MERCURY(2)

The vibrational spectra are presented and interpreted for six compounds containing the CH3Hg group; for diethylmercury and ethylmercuric bromide; for dibenzylmercury, benzylmercuric chloride and bromide; and for allylmercuric iodide. A complete normal coordinate calculation is reported for methylmercuric iodide. Characteristic frequencies for the CH3Hg group are given for four other compounds. The infra-red spectra are given and assigned for several compounds containing the C6H5Hg group, and discussed in terms of possible structures for some of them. Spectra are also given for some p-substituted phenylmercuric compounds. © 1968.
