Tetrakis(trifluoroacetoxymercuri)methane and tetrakis(acetoxymercuri)methane as the reaction products of Hofmann's base with the corresponding acid: X-ray crystallographic evidence
Abstract
It has been shown by X-ray structure analysis that the crystals obtained from the solution of ethane hexamercarbide (Hofmann's base) in trifluoroacetic or acetic acid are tetrakis(trifluoroacetoxymercuri)methane, C(HgOCOCF3)4, and tetrakis(acetoxymercuri)methane, C(HgOCOCH3)4, respectively.
