Abstract
The photochemical degradation of diphenylmercury and monophenylmercury compounds in water-acetonitrile (1:1) media in an air-equilibrated at mosphere was studied. The photoprocess involves sequential dephenylati on to inorganic forms of mercury, with the subsequent formation of sev eral organic products, most of them pollutants. The ecological impact of this photoprocess is emphasized.
