The α- and β-2-methoxycyclopentylmercuric chlorides, bromides, and iodides have been prepared. The X-ray powder patterns, dipole moments, and thermal analyses among each series have been compared with the homologous methoxycyclohexyl derivatives. In both of the series the dipole moments of the β-diastereomers are greater than those of the corresponding α -isomers. In both series the α- and β-diastereomers seem to comprise isostructural series among the three halides. This isostructural relationship seems to be reflected in the melting point composition diagrams.
