MERCURIC ACETATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Mercuric acetate is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula Hg(C₂H₃O₂)₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the acetoxylation of alkenes and the preparation of organomercury compounds. Mercuric acetate is also used in laboratory research and as a preservative in biological specimens. Despite its utility, mercuric acetate is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with mercuric acetate.
