Mercury(II) fluoride has the molecular formula HgF2 as a chemical compound of one atom of mercury with 2 atoms of fluorine.

Synthesis

Mercury(II) fluoride is most commonly produced by the reaction of mercury(II) oxide and hydrogen fluoride:

HgO + 2 HF → HgF2 + H2O

Mercury(II) fluoride can also be produced through the fluorination of mercury(II) chloride:

HgCl2 + F2 → HgF2 + Cl2

or of mercury(II) oxide:[1]

2 HgO + 2 F2 → 2 HgF2 + O2

with oxygen as byproduct.

Applications

Mercury(II) fluoride is a selective fluorination agent.[2][3]
