N2  - Aqueous solutions of 'mercurous nitrate' are shown by Raman spectra to contain the complexes [Hg2(OH2)NO3]+ and [Hg2(OH2)2]2+. Crystalline dimercury(I) nitrate, Hg2(NO3)2,2H2O, and its solid hydrolysis products Hg2(OH)2,3Hg2(NO3)2, 2Hg2(OH)2,3Hg2(NO3)2,H2O and Hg2(OH)2,- Hg2(NO3)2 have been obtained: the vibrational spectra are reported and interpreted in terms of possible structures. Modes v(Hg-Hg) appear in the range 170- 200 cm-1 and are sensitive to the particular combination of the ligands OH, ONO2, and H2O attached to the dimercury(I) ion.
