| MERCURY(II) FLUORIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | yellow to pink powder | | Uses | Synthesis of organic fluorine compounds. | | Uses | Mercury(II) fluoride is a selective fluorination agent. Organic compounds, such as triphenylacetic acid, triphenyl ethylene, and triethyl phosphite can be selectively fluorinated in dimethylsulfoxide/HgF 2 solutions under UV-visible illumination. CF2I2 was synthesized by fluorination of tetraiodomethane with mercury(II) fluoride and purified. | | Hazard | Highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and
skin absorption; strong irritant. |
