Description

Mercury thiocyanate is a coordination complex that is an organometallic compound. It contains mercury and thiocyanate ions, which are coordinated by four sulfur atoms from the thiocyanate ion. This compound is a light-sensitive, white powder with a basic structure. Mercury thiocyanate has been used in gravimetric analysis for determining the concentration of thiocyanates in solutions. Powder diffraction analysis has shown that mercury thiocyanate crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c and unit cell dimensions a = 12.7 Å, b = 8.5 Å, c = 4.7 Å, β = 108°, V = 518 Å3 (calculated). The morphology of this compound is acicular crystals with smooth surfaces and edges that are often striated or curved on one side. It also exhibits thermal expansion properties as well as high chemical stability and resistance to
