A reinvestigation of phenylene- and polyphenylene-mercurials

Evidence is presented to show that ortho-phenylenemercury is a trimer; no evidence was obtained for the previously reported hexameric form. Similarly, ortho-biphenylenemercury and its perfluoro-analogue exist as trimers and not tetramers, while ortho-terphenylenemercury is a dimer.
