CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Crystals. Formerly used as a pesticide in seed treatment for cotton and small grains. Exhibits high fungicidal activity against leaf stripe of barley, stinking smut of wheat, snow mold of rye; against seedling diseases in beets and legumes, and for dressing "seed" potatoes, bulbs, and tubers. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S. (EPA, 1998) |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White crystals |
| Melting Point | 40-42 °C |
| Solubility | Soluble in water; readily soluble in polar solvents, including methanol and ethylene glycol |
| Vapor Pressure | 0.04 [mmHg] |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable at pH 9.5 to 11.5 |
| Corrosivity | Corrosive to iron and other metals. |
| Other Experimental Properties | Methoxyethylmercury radicals /have been described/ as resembling sodium ion in that they are strongly alkaline and form highly ionized salts that are generally water soluble and appreciably volatile. These compounds are quantitatively decomposed by strong acids. /Methoxyethylmercury radicals/ |
