THE PHOTOLYSIS OF DIMETHYL MERCURY IN HEXANE SOLUTION AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Keyword(s):
The photolysis of dimethyl mercury in solution in n-hexane has been studied over the temperature range +25 °C. to −80 °C. The results indicate that methane is produced by an abstraction reaction involving the solvent, and ethane is produced by dimerization of methyl radicals. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed, and it is concluded that the abstraction reaction involves radicals possessing considerable energy carried over from the photodissociation.
