Methyl(2-mercapto-4-methylpyrimidinato)mercury(II): a methylmercury(II) derivative with an unusual metal–metal interaction
Abstract
4-Methylpyrimidine-2-thione reacts with methylmercury hydroxide to give the thiolate derivative HgMe(SC4H2N2Me-2), the X-ray structure of which reveals pairs of molecules with a mercury–mercury distance of 3.10 Å.
