Mercury dibromide

Description:

Mercury dibromide, with the chemical formula HgBr2 and CAS number 7789-47-1, is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark red to brown crystalline appearance. It is a highly toxic substance, primarily due to the presence of mercury, which poses significant health risks upon exposure. Mercury dibromide is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and in the preparation of other mercury compounds. The compound exhibits a high melting point and can decompose upon heating, releasing toxic bromine vapors. It is important to handle mercury dibromide with caution, using appropriate safety measures to prevent inhalation or skin contact. Additionally, due to its toxicity and environmental impact, its use is regulated in many countries. In laboratory settings, it is often utilized in research related to coordination chemistry and as a source of bromide ions in reactions.

Mercury(II) bromide

Controlled Product

CAS: 7789-47-1

Mercury(II) bromide is a chemical compound that is used as an antimicrobial agent in wastewater treatment. It reacts with organic matter to produce compounds that are less soluble and thus easier to remove from water. Mercury(II) bromide also has the ability to react with chlorine gas, forming mercury chloride and hydrogen bromide gas. These reactions can be used for analytical chemistry, such as photomultiplier tube measurements or elemental analysis using X-ray diffraction. Mercury(II) bromide can also be used as a solid catalyst for cationic polymerization of picolinic acid.
