Abstract
The effects of temperature, pCl and concentration on the rate and extent of silicon carbon bond cleavage by mercury(II) species were studied by 1H NMR. Transmethylation reactions were found to be first order with respect to each reactant and second order overall. The rate of reaction is strongly dependent upon the nature of the mercury(II) electrophile. A mechanism consistent with the kinetic data is proposed.
