Preparation and characterization of the double acetates of zinc, cadmium and mercury(II)

Abstract

Double acetates of composition M₂[M(OAC)₄]₃xAc₂O, where x may have a value of four or six, have been isolated from acetic anhydride by mixing the anhydrous acetates of zinc, cadmium and mercury and the acetates of alkali metals, ammonium and thallium in acetic anhydride. From the conductance, molecular weight, 1.r. and t.g.a. studies, their structures have been elucidated.
