title: Reaction of a metallamacrocycle leading to a mercury(II)...palladium(II)...mercury(II) interaction.
abstract: All wrapped up: The reaction of a 22-membered macrocycle derived from bis(o-formylphenyl)mercury and 1,2-phenylenediamine with palladium(II) results in cleavage of the macrocycle and concomitant formation of a trimetallic complex (see picture; phenyl rings truncated for clarity). The nature of the Hg(II)...Pd(II)...Hg(II) interaction was investigated by theoretical studies.
