SODIUM MERCURY AMALGAM Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

grey solid, often supplied in the form of beads

Uses

Magnetic characteristics were studied of organometallic oxo-vanadium cluster compounds, such as [C₅Me₅V]₄(μ-O)₆, which is formed by reduction with sodium mercury amalgam.

Used for:

• Ionic liquid based sodium ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes
• Dehalogenation agent for the room-temperature synthesis of carbonaceous films
• Plant-scaled method for preparation of deuterium-depleted water
• Investigations of solvent effects on desulfonylation of polyethylene glycol-substituted aryl alkyl sulfones

Catalyst for synthesis of selectively benzylated Me α-D-glucopyranosides

Reagent for reduction of RDX for functionalization for forensic analysis

Uses

Preparation of hydrogen, reduction of metal halogen compounds and organic compounds, reagent in analytical chemistry.

Hazard

Flammable, dangerous fire risk.
