Mercury(I) Hydride
Mercury(I) hydride (systematically named mercury hydride) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HgH. It has not yet been obtained in bulk, hence its bulk properties remain unknown. However, molecular mercury(I) hydrides with the formulae HgH and have been isolated in solid gas matrices. The molecular hydrides are very unstable toward thermal decomposition. As such the compound is not well characterised, although many of its properties have been calculated via computational chemistry. Molecular forms History In 1979 and 1985, Swiss chemical physicists, Egger and Gerber, and Soviet chemical physicists, Kolbycheva and Kolbychev, independently, theoretically determined that it is feasible to develop a mercury(I) hydride molecular laser. Chemical properties Mercury(I) hydride is an unstable gas and is the heaviest group 12 monohydride. n mercury(I) hydride, the formal oxidation states of hydrogen and mercury are −1 and +1, respectively, because of the electrone ...
