Description

The properties of some Hg(I) chloride complexes, and in particular the effect of ligands on the delocalization of the unpaired electron is the subject of this report. The formation of HgX (X = Cl, Br, I, Cn, CNS) as an intermediate short-lived particle was postulated during the pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of HgX2 salts. Results indicated that HgCl particles are formed during the γ-irradiation of aqueous H2SO4 and alcohol solutions of HgCl2, while HgCl43- particles are formed in the HCl solutions. Also the parameters of the EPR spectra and the optical characteristics of the particles were determined. The mechanisms of their formation are discussed
