| | PHENYLMERCURIC CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white fine crystalline powder | | Uses | Phenylmercuric chloride has been used as an agricultural fungicide.
| | Uses | The reaction of phenylmercury (II) chloride with acetophenonethiosemicarbazone (Hatsc) in ethanol in 1: 1 mole ratio undergoes symmetrisation forming the products, HgCl2 (Hatse) 2 and Ph2Hg instead of the anticipated compound PhHgCl (Hatse). A new method for the determination of chloride ion is based on the formation of phenylmercury(II) chloride, its extraction into chloroform and reaction with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate to form phenylmercury(II) diethyldithiocarbamate. | | Safety Profile | Poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition ir emits very toxic fumes of Cland Hg. See also MERCURY COMPOUNDS and CHLORIDES. |
