Mercury iodide (mercuric iodide)

Japanese: ヨウ化水銀(沃化水銀) - ようかすいぎん(英語表記)mercury iodide
Mercury iodide (mercuric iodide)
There are compounds of iodine and mercury in which the oxidation states of mercury correspond to I and II.
[Mercury iodide(I)]
Chemical formula: Hg 2 I 2 . Yellow tetragonal crystal. Specific gravity: 7.70, melting point: 290°C (partially decomposed), sublimes at 140°C. Its structure is similar to mercury bromide(I) Hg 2 Br 2 , with Hg-Hg bonds, and each mercury atom has a distorted octahedral hexagonal structure with six atoms, including five iodine atoms. When an alkali iodide is added to an aqueous solution of mercury(I) nitrate, it precipitates, which can be filtered and dried under reduced pressure to obtain the desired product.
