Abstract

Reactions of (C5H5)2Yb(MeOCH2)2 with R2Hg (R = C6F5, C6Cl5, or PhCC) yield mercury metal and (C5H5)2YbR, but diphenylmercury fails to react significantly. Bis(trans-2-chlorovinyl)mercury reacts with (C5H5)2Yb(MeOCH2)2 to give (C5H5)2YbCl. Ligand exchange occurs between (C5H5)2YbC6F5 and phenylacetylene and with succinimide to give (C5H5)2YbCCPh and (C5H5)2YbNC(O)CH2CH2C(O), respectively.
