Description

Application

• Stable -ESiMe3 Complexes of Cu(I) and Ag(I) (E=S, Se) with NHCs: Synthons in Ternary Nanocluster Assembly.: This research discusses the synthesis and characterization of stable Cu(I) and Ag(I) complexes, possibly applicable in nanocluster assembly, which includes Mercury(II) acetate as a catalyst for synthesis processes (Azizpoor Fard et al., 2016).


• Zinc(II), cadmium(II), mercury(II), and ethylmercury(II) complexes of phosphinothiol ligands.: This article explores the coordination chemistry of mercury(II) with phosphinothiol ligands, offering insights into the complexation behavior that can influence analytical methodologies in detecting mercury species (Fernández et al., 2008).


• Microscale preparation of even- and odd-numbered N-acetylheparosan oligosaccharides.: This study includes the use of Mercury(II) acetate in the enzymatic synthesis processes of oligosaccharides, highlighting its role in the preparation of complex biochemical structures (Minamisawa et al., 2006).
