Bis(trimethylsilyl)mercury is a chemical reagent with the formula (CH3)3-Si-Hg-Si-(CH3)3.
This compound was first synthesized by Wiberget al. in 1963, by the reaction oftrimethylsilyl bromide withsodium amalgam:[1]
On prolonged heating at 100-160 °C, or when stood under light as an ethereal solution, it decomposes tohexamethyldisilane:[1]
Reaction withhydrogen chloride givestrimethylsilane andtrimethylsilyl chloride:[1]
