Abstract

The problem of stabilization of linear mercury clusters with acceptor ligands coordinated along the symmetry axis of the cluster is discussed in terms of the MNDO method. It is shown that stable four-membered rings Hg2Cl2 may be formed. It is proposed that the structure of linear mercury clusters with side coordination of ligands be described as the result of “polymerization” of short stable linear molecules XHgnX (n=1, 2) and HgX 1−2 , HgX 1−3 ions with accepting terminal groups.
