A series of pale yellow imine-functionalized acetyloxy(4-(arylideneamino)phenyl)mercury(II) compounds (2-7) were obtained by the reactions of acetyloxy(4-aminophenyl)mercury(II) (1) with arylaldehydes in equimolar ratios in absolute ethanol under reflux conditions. Organomercury compounds 2-5 and 7, when treated with 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone (dptc) in chloroform, formed dark-red (4-((E)-arylideneamino)phenyl)(((Z)-((E)-phenyldiazenyl) (2-phenylhydrazono)methyl)thio)mercury compounds (8e12) in alkaline medium. The reaction of 7 with a slight excess of mercuric chloride in anhydrous methanol led to the formation of the bimetallic compound (2-[4-(acetyloxymercuryl) This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.
