Despite the novel positive acquisitions of knowledge from experimental and theoretical studies of gas-phase elemental mercury chemistry there are still large gaps before a complete imderstanding of the fate of mercury in the atmosphere is obtained. It is essential to provide kinetic data and information about formed products. There are some limited studies on the kinetics of gas-phase elemental mercury oxidation on surfaces [68-70]. However, experimental studies on uptake or kinetics of heterogeneous reactions of mercury on various environmentally relevant surfaces such as ice, snow, and aerosols and biomaterials, are needed. 

In the area of pheromone synthesis, oxymercuration-oxidative demercuration has also proven valuable. For example, all four stereoisomers (rf tetrahydro-2,2,6-trimethyi-2//-pyran-3-ol, from the eim bark beetle Pteleobius vittatus have been acquired by a sequence from (/ )- and (S)-sulcatol, which incorporates this mercury chemistry. The epimeric alcohols (47) and (48 Scheme 37) were separable (MPLC)...
