:Mercury, chloro(hydroxyphenyl)-
Description:
Mercury, chloro(hydroxyphenyl)-, also known as mercuric chloride phenylhydroxide, is an organomercury compound characterized by the presence of mercury (Hg) bonded to a chloro and a hydroxyphenyl group. This compound typically exhibits a white to pale yellow crystalline appearance and is known for its potential toxicity, particularly due to the mercury content. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxyphenyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including those involving nucleophiles. Due to its mercury content, this compound poses significant health and environmental risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. It is often used in laboratory settings for specific applications, but its use is restricted in many regions due to regulatory concerns surrounding mercury compounds. Safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper ventilation, are essential when working with this substance to mitigate exposure risks.
