Abstract

A simple method for the preparation of bisalkylmercuric sulphides, based on the reaction of alkylmercuric bromide with sodium sulphide in alcoholic solution. is proposed. The preparation and the properties of the symmetrical sulphides (RHg)2S, where R = Me, Et, n-Pr, n-Bu and i-Pr, are described. The synthesis of the mixed sulphides R ' HgSHgR " was performed over the form ation of the corresponding sodium alkylmercuric sulphide R'HgSNa as an intermediate. The preparation and the properties of mixed sulphides where R' = Me and R " = Et, n-Pr, are described. All compounds prepared are well defined crystalline substances which decompose slowly on exposure to light.
