Transmetallation of Bis(6‐diphenylphosphinoacenaphth‐5‐yl)‐Mercury and ‐Tributyltin with Precious Metal Chlorides

The reaction of bis(6‐diphenylphosphinoacenapht‐5yl)mercury, (6‐Ph 2 P‐Ace‐5‐) 2 Hg, with [(CO) 2 RhCl] 2 and PtCl 2 proceeded with extrusion of mercury / mercury(I) chloride and provided the octahedral rhodium and platinum complexes (6‐Ph 2 P‐Ace‐5‐) 2 Rh(CO)Cl and (6‐Ph 2 P‐Ace‐5‐) 2 PtCl 2 , respectively. The reaction of the (6‐diphenylphosphinoacenapht‐5yl)stannane 6‐Ph 2 P‐Ace‐5‐SnBu 3 with PdCl 2 gave rise to tributyltin chloride and a...
