Insoluble in water.

Organometallics, such as METHOXYETHYL-MERCURY-CHLORIDE, are reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents. Often reactive with water to generate toxic or flammable gases. Organometallics containing halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) bonded to the metal typically with generate gaseous hydrohalic acids (HF, HCl, HBr, HI) with water.

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: METHOXYETHYL-MERCURY-CHLORIDE is toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes.

Flash point data for METHOXYETHYL-MERCURY-CHLORIDE are not available. METHOXYETHYL-MERCURY-CHLORIDE is probably combustible.
