A mercury bis(tricarbido) complex: [Hg{C triple bond C-C triple bond W(CO)2Tp}2(dmso)4](dmso)2 (Tp = hydrotrispyrazolylborate).
Fluoride mediated desilylation of the propargylidyne complex [W(triple bond C-C triple bond CSiMe(3))(CO)(2){HB(pz)(3)}] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) in the presence of mercury(II) chloride provides the novel bis(tricarbido)complex [Hg{C triple bond C-C triple bond W(CO)(2){HB(pz)(3)}}(2)], which was structurally characterised as a dmso hexasolvate.
