Mercury effect iodides

T19.9 Protiodide was a medical trade name for mercury(I) iodide, Hg2l2. Various sources can be used to summarize the side-effects and overdose risks, such as MSDS sheets. Sweetman, S.C. (ed.). Mariindale The Complete Drug Reference, published by Pharmaceutical Press, could also be a good source for the toxicity and effects of inorganic mercury salts. 

Reactions of tetra-alkyltin compounds with mercury(n) iodide in 96% methanol, as with mercury(n) chloride, - are bimolecular. The variation of rate constant with alkyl group suggests an open S 2 transition state (5). Further evidence for this mechanism is provided by the variation of rate constant with solvent Y values for the particular case of the tetraethyltin compound reacting with mercury(n) chloride in a range of aqueous methanol mixtures. Solvent effects in this last series of reactions have been separated into initial state and transition state contributions by the determination of heats of solution and of transfer of the reactants. The effect of added lithium perchlorate on reaction rates for tetra-alkyltin compounds with mercury(ii) iodide again indicates bimolecular electrophilic... 

Among the many methods of generating difluorocarbene, the treatment of bromodifluoromethylphosphonium bromides with potassium or cesium fluoride is particularly useful at room temperature or below [II, 12 13] The sodium iodide promoted decomposition of phenyl(trifluoromethyl)mercury is very effective at moderate temperatures [S, 14] Hexafluoropropylene oxide [/5] and chlorodifluo-roacetate salts [7] are excellent higher temperature sources of difluorocarbene... 

The amount of reddish-purple acid-chloranilate ion liberated is proportional to the chloride ion concentration. Methyl cellosolve (2-methoxyethanol) is added to lower the solubility of mercury(II) chloranilate and to suppress the dissociation of the mercury(II) chloride nitric acid is added (concentration 0.05M) to give the maximum absorption. Measurements are made at 530nm in the visible or 305 nm in the ultraviolet region. Bromide, iodide, iodate, thiocyanate, fluoride, and phosphate interfere, but sulphate, acetate, oxalate, and citrate have little effect at the 25 mg L 1 level. The limit of detection is 0.2 mg L 1 of chloride ion the upper limit is about 120 mg L . Most cations, but not ammonium ion, interfere and must be removed. 

By media variables we mean the solvent, electrolyte, and electrodes employed in electrochemical generation of excited states. The roles which these play in the emissive process have not been sufficiently investigated. The combination of A vV-dimethylformamide, or acetonitrile, tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate and platinum have been most commonly reported because they have been found empirically to function well. Despite various inadequacies of these systems, however, relatively little has been done to find and develop improved conditions under which emission could be seen and studied. Electrochemiluminescence emission has also been observed in dimethyl sulfite, propylene carbonate, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, trimethylacetonitrile, and benzonitrile.17 Recently the last of these has proven very useful for stabilizing the rubrene cation radical.65,66 Other electrolytes that have been tried are tetraethylam-monium bromide and perchlorate1 and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide and iodide.5 Emission has also been observed with gold,4 mercury,5 and transparent tin oxide electrodes,9 but few studies have yet been made1 as to the effects of electrode construction and orientation on the emission character. 

Finally, it being established that (he solution contains mercury, the identification of it, as the bichloride, may be easily effected by solutions of nitrate of silver, caustic ammonia, iodide of potassium, and protocbloride of tin. 

The redistribution reaction in lead compounds is straightforward and there are no appreciable side reactions. It is normally carried out commercially in the liquid phase at substantially room temperature. However, a catalyst is required to effect the reaction with lead compounds. A number of catalysts have been patented, but the exact procedure as practiced commercially has never been revealed. Among the effective catalysts are activated alumina and other activated metal oxides, triethyllead chloride, triethyllead iodide, phosphorus trichloride, arsenic trichloride, bismuth trichloride, iron(III)chloride, zirconium(IV)-chloride, tin(IV)chloride, zinc chloride, zinc fluoride, mercury(II)chloride, boron trifluoride, aluminum chloride, aluminum bromide, dimethyl-aluminum chloride, and platinum(IV)chloride 43,70-72,79,80,97,117, 131,31s) A separate catalyst compound is not required for the exchange between R.jPb and R3PbX compounds however, this type of uncatalyzed exchange is rather slow. Again, the products are practically a random mixture. 

Generally, the reactions are carried out in refluxing benzene solution, since the yield in benzene is better than that in other solvents. Probably, the radicals formed may be somewhat stabilized by the weak orbital-orbital interaction between the radicals and benzene. However, from the environmental point of view, toluene or dioxane is recently used. As substrates, alkyl bromides or alkyl iodides are used, and the reactivity increases in the order prim-alkyl < seoalkyl < te/t-alkyl. Sugar anomeric bromide (3) is generally not so stable, so the reaction is carried out under irradiation conditions with a mercury lamp at room temperature (eqs. 4.2 and 4.3). There are two types of anomeric glycosyl radicals as shown in Figure 4.1. One is the axial radical [I], and the other is the equatorial radical [I ]. The axial radical is more nucleophilic than the equatorial radical due to the stereoelectronic effect, where this effect comes... 

Aqueous solutions of osmium tetroxide are readily reduced by the introduction of practically any metal except those known as the precious metals.3 Thus zinc, silver, mercury, etc., effect the precipitation of metallic osmium from acidulated solutions in a very pure form. In the last-named ease an amalgam is produced from which the osmium is obtained by distilling off the mercury. Ferrous sulphate and stannous chloride4 also reduce the tetroxide solutions, but hydrogen,5 sulphur and selenium 6 appear to have no action under ordinary conditions. Sulphur dioxide reduces the solution to osmium sulphite, whilst potassium iodide reduces it to dioxide with liberation of iodine—a reaction that may be utilised in the volumetric determination of osmium.7...
