Abstract
In the mercury-sensitized photolysis of Me(3)SiH, it was found that th e mercury concentration does not remain constant during photolysis, an d mercury forms an unidentified compound. The compound decomposes to e lemental mercury by radical attack and in the dark by a surface-cataly sed reaction. Experiments suggest that mercury atoms in the ground sta te are involved in compound formation.
