The volatility of organo‐mercury compounds

Abstract

Abstract The saturated vapour concentrations at 35° of 21 organo‐mercury compounds have been determined by static and dynamic methods and the corresponding partial pressures derived. For 14 of these compounds, together with mercury and mercuric chloride, values at 25° and 45° have also been determined and the constants in the linear pressure‐temperature relation calculated. Some correlation between chemical constitution and vapour pressure has been noted.
