Phenylmercuric acetate

Description:

Phenylmercuric acetate is an organomercury compound characterized by its chemical formula C9H9HgO2. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its use as a fungicide and preservative in various applications, particularly in agriculture and pharmaceuticals. The compound features a phenyl group attached to a mercury atom, which is further bonded to an acetate group. This structure contributes to its biological activity, as mercury can disrupt cellular processes. Phenylmercuric acetate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Due to its mercury content, it poses potential health and environmental risks, leading to regulatory scrutiny and restrictions on its use. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as mercury is toxic and can accumulate in living organisms. Overall, while phenylmercuric acetate has practical applications, its use is carefully managed to mitigate risks associated with mercury exposure.

CAS: 62-38-4

Phenylmercuric acetate is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organomercury compounds. It is used as a fungicide and bactericide in agriculture and veterinary medicine, and has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by disrupting the cell membrane. Phenylmercuric acetate inhibits enzyme activities in model systems, such as polymerase chain reactions (PCR). This inhibition can be reversed by addition of potassium dichromate or sodium borate. The compound also interacts with water vapor from the air, forming stable complexes that are toxic to plants and microorganisms. Phenylmercuric acetate has an optimum pH range of 5-8 and is active against infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses.
