Mercuric oxide

Description:

Mercuric oxide, also known as mercury(II) oxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HgO. It appears as a bright red or yellow solid, depending on its crystalline form. This compound is notable for its high density and relatively low solubility in water. Mercuric oxide is primarily used in various applications, including as a reagent in laboratories, in the production of mercury salts, and historically in the manufacture of batteries. It is also known for its role in the synthesis of other mercury compounds. However, due to the toxicity of mercury and its compounds, mercuric oxide poses significant health and environmental risks. It can release toxic mercury vapors upon heating, and exposure can lead to serious health issues, including neurological damage. Therefore, handling mercuric oxide requires strict safety precautions to minimize exposure. In terms of chemical behavior, it can undergo thermal decomposition to yield elemental mercury and oxygen when heated, making it an important compound in studies related to thermodynamics and chemical reactions involving mercury.

Mercuric oxide red

Controlled Product

CAS: 21908-53-2

Mercuric oxide red is a dinucleotide phosphate that has been used as an oxidation catalyst in organic synthesis. Mercuric oxide red is also used as a reagent for the conversion of glycoside derivatives to their corresponding mercuric salts. It can be used in the determination of certain metabolites, such as amino acids and fatty acids, in biological samples. In addition, it can be used to detect lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. For example, Mercuric oxide red has been shown to have the ability to bind to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). This binding induces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6. Mercuric oxide red also inhibits plasma mass spectrometry by suppressing ionization and reducing fragmentation.
