Abstract

A solution of (OxS)₂Ca·2HMPA [OxS^- = 2-mercaptobenzoxazolyl, C₆H₄O·(C=S)=N^-; HMPA = O:P (NMe₂)₃] dissolves solid HgCl₂ to give [(OxS)CaCl·2HMPA]₂·(OxS)₂Ca· (HgCl₂)₂, 1; in the solid state, the Cl atoms of intact HgCl₂ molecules coordinate to Ca₂₊ ions (which retain links to the N atoms of OxS^- ligands) and the S centres are thereby displaced from Ca²⁺ and capture the Hg.
