M-C bond cleavage; metallophilic; secondary bonding intramolecular interaction; organochalcogen; telluroxane; transmetallation.

Recent trends in the area of intramolecularly coordinated organomercury and organochalcogens derivatives are reviewed. Intramolecular coordination in organomercury derivatives facilitates the formation of mercurametallamacrocycle and leads to novel metal-metal interaction with closed shell ions. It also plays a key role in stabilizing telluroxanes as well as in the activation of chalcogen-carbon bonds.
