Phenylmercuric chloride

Description:

Phenylmercuric chloride, with the CAS number 100-56-1, is an organomercury compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance. It is primarily used as a fungicide and a preservative in various applications, including in the agricultural sector and in some pharmaceutical formulations. The compound is known for its antimicrobial properties, making it effective against a range of fungi and bacteria. However, due to the toxicity associated with mercury compounds, phenylmercuric chloride poses significant health and environmental risks. It can be absorbed through the skin and can lead to mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. The substance is soluble in water and organic solvents, which facilitates its application in different formulations. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can cause severe health effects, including neurological damage. Regulatory measures in many countries have restricted its use, reflecting growing concerns over mercury exposure and its environmental impact. Overall, while phenylmercuric chloride has useful applications, its toxicity necessitates careful management and consideration.

Controlled Product

CAS: 100-56-1

Phenylmercuric chloride is a chemical compound that is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It has been shown to be effective against bowel disease by stimulating the production of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). Phenylmercuric chloride also causes the release of chloride from human red blood cells, which can lead to potassium depletion. The enzyme form of phenylmercuric chloride is a coordination complex that contains a phenyl group coordinated to mercury(II) through two bonds and one bond to a chloride ion. This complex has a rate constant of 1.4 × 10-4 s-1 for the hydrolysis of acetate esters at pH 7.5 in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide (KOBu).
