Description and Uses

Mercury(I) fluoride or mercurous fluoride, Hg2F2, consists of small yellow cubic crystals, which turn black when exposed to light. Mercury(I) fluoride is formed by the reaction of mercury(I) carbonate with hydrofluoric acid.
Hg2CO3 + 2HF→Hg2F2 +CO2 +H2O

Mercury(I) fluoride is used as antiseptic. It is used in the Swarts reaction to convert alkyl halides into alkyl fluorides.
