SODIUM MERCURY AMALGAM

grey solid, often supplied in the form of beads

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

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

Flammable, dangerous fire risk.
