About this item

IUPAC name	dichloromercury
canonical smiles	Cl[Hg]Cl
inchi	InChI=1S/2ClH.Hg/h2*1H;/q;;+2/p-2
inchi key	LWJROJCJINYWOX-UHFFFAOYSA-L
molecular formula	HgCl2
synonyms	MERCURIC CHLORIDE Dichloromercury Mercury(II) chloride Sublimate Mercury bichloride
Compound Description	Mercuric chloride appears as an odorless white crystalline solid. Density 5.4 g / cm3. Melting point 277 °C. Slightly volatile at ordinary temperatures. Can be sublimed unchanged. Corrosive to the mucous membranes. Toxic by inhalation , ingestion, and skin absorption. Used in photography, disinfectants, wood preservatives, fungicides. Mercury dichloride is a mercury coordination entity made up of linear triatomic molecules in which a mercury atom is bonded to two chlorines. Water-soluble, it is highly toxic. Once used in a wide variety of applications, including preserving wood and anatomical specimens, embalming and disinfecting, as an intensifier in photography, as a mordant for rabbit and beaver furs, and freeing gold from lead, its use has markedly declined as less toxic alternatives have been developed. It has a role as a sensitiser. Mercury chloride is a highly toxic compound that volatizes slightly at ordinary temperature and appreciably at 100 degrees C. It is corrosive to mucous membranes and used as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant. Mercuric chloride was used to disinfect wounds by Arab physicians in the Middle Ages but modern medicine has since deemed it unsafe for use. Mercuric chloride is one of the most toxic chemical compounds of mercury, due to its high solubility in water. It is most often used as a laboratory reagent, and occasionally used to form amalgams with metals. Mercury chloride . A highly toxic compound that volatizes slightly at ordinary temperature and appreciably at 100 degrees C. It is corrosive to mucous membranes and used as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant.
