Abstract

When heated with Group V and Group VI elements, the phenylenemercurials (C₆H₄Hg)₃, (C₆F₄Hg)₃ and (C₆Cl₄Hg)₃ form heterocycles of formulae (M₂(C₆X₄)₃ and M′₂(C₆X₄)₂ where M = As, Sb, Bi and M′ = S, Se, Te. The compounds Te₂(C₆Cl₄)₂ and M₂(C₆Cl₄)₃ (M = As, Sb, Bi) were also obtained by heating the elements with 1,2-I₂C₆Cl₄, which was prepared by mercuration of 1,2-H₂C₆Cl₄ followed by iododemercuration. Octachlorothianthrene has been obtained by heating sulphur with Te₂(C₆Cl₄)₂, C₆Cl₆ or C₆Cl₅I, and from the reaction between 1,2-H₂C₆Cl₄, AlCl₃, and S₂Cl₂.
