CAS 1600-27-7 — Mercuric acetate

Mercuric acetate is a highly toxic organomercury compound primarily used in analytical chemistry for protein precipitation, as a reagent in organic synthesis, and historically in medicine (now largely obsolete due to its hazards). It appears as a white crystalline solid with corrosive and severe health risks upon exposure. CAS 1600-27-7, molecular formula (CH₃COO)₂Hg, molecular weight 318.68 g/mol. Store at ambient temperature in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture and incompatible substances. Signal word: Danger—requires strict handling under fume hoods with PPE. Molekula supplies mercuric acetate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
