Abstract: A number of organomercury(II) complexes involving 5-fluorouracil (HL) of the type RHgL (R = p-MeC₆H₄, p-MeOC₆H₄, p-NO₂C₆H₄, p-HOC₆H₄, o-HOC₆H₄) have been synthesized. Conductance measurements reveal that the compounds are nonelectrolytes. From IR and UV spectral studies the bonding modes of the ligand to the mercury(ll) ion have been deduced. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral studies confirm the stoichiometry of the complexes. The fragmentation pattern has been analyzed on the basis of mass spectral studies.
