ON THE FORMATION OF COMPOUNDS IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS. PART II. FORMATION OF ALKALI AND ALKALINE EARTH METAL IODOMERCURIATES, ALKALI METAL IODOCADMIATES AND CADMIUM IODOMERCURIATES

The formation of complex and double salts of Hgl₂ and CdI₂ with univalent and bivalent metal iodides and also the interaction of HgI₂ and CdI₂ in organic solvents have been studied. The following compounds have been prepared and their properties studied : NH₄I.HgI₂.C₂H₅OH; 2NH₄I.CdI₂; NH₄I.CdI₂.C₂H₅OH; 2LiI.HgI₂.6O₂H₅OH; NaI.HgI₂,2C₂H₅OH: NaI.HgI₂.2HOAc; NaIHgI₂.2(CH₃)₂CO: KI.HgI₂2Py: MgI₂.HgI₂.8C₂H₅OH ; 2 HgI₂-CaI₄ : CaI₂-3HgI₂.6C₂H₅OH: 2HgI₂SrI₅; CdI₂.3HgI₂; HgI₂.2CdI₂. Io acetamide ; CdI₂. 6 benzamide; CdI₂.6Py and HgI₂-2Py.
