Abstract

The mercury-rich dithiocarbamate cations [Hg3(R2dtc)4]2+ and [Hg4(pipdtc)6]2+ (R = Et, Bz; pip = piperidyl; dtc = dithiocarbamate) have been shown by a polarographic method to be partially dissociated at the \R~2 × 10-4 M concentration level in dichloromethane solution. However, for approximately 10-2 M solutions of [Hg3(R2dtc)4]2+ in dichloromethane, mercury-199 NMR studies over a wide temperature range are more consistent with the presence of higher oligomers such as [Hg6(R2dtc)8]4+.
