The remarkable thermal stability of benzyl[tris(dimethylphenylsily)methyl]mercury. How can a bulky ligand stabilize an organometallic compound towards unimolecular dissociation?

Abstract

Only at 245 °C is the rate of the thermal decomposition of (Me2PhSi)3CHgCH2Ph in diphenyl ether comparable with that of (PhCH2)2Hg at 150 °C; it is suggested that this may be because within the collisionally energized molecule there is only slow transmission of energy through the metal atom.
