The aim of this study was to demonstrate the absolute necessity of control experiments for a correct interpretation of mercury drop test results when applied to mechanistic studies of palladacycle-catalyzed reactions. It was shown that the interaction of diverse azapalladacycles with metallic mercury leads to the formation of organomercuric chlorides during the redox-transmetalation process. The structure of these organomercurials was confirmed by elemental analysis, H-1, C-13H-1}, and Hg-199H-1} NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction analysis, and DFT calculations. The behavior and properties of C,N-mercuracycles bearing the weak and labile N center dot center dot center dot Hg bond are discussed on the basis of the temperature dependence of the NMR spectra and calculated thermodynamic parameters of the dechelation process.
