TL;DR: The mechanisms by which mercury is removed from the plasma and excreted in the urine and the relationship of this process to mercurial diuresis have been investigated in human subjects with the aid of simultaneous measurements of renal hemodynamics, urinary mercury and electrolyte excretion, and arterial and renal venous plasma mercury concentrations.
Abstract: Previous studies (1) from this laboratory have indicated that urinary excretion of mercury reaches a maximal value immediately following the intravenous injection of an organic mercurial diuretic and then falls rapidly, presumably as the plasma concentration of mercury decreases. Moreover, the dynamics of mercury excretion during the first four to six hours in a given individual are quite constant on repeated measurement and are not significantly affected by certain factors which either enhance or inhibit diuresis. In the present study the mechanisms by which mercury is removed from the plasma and excreted in the urine and the relationship of this process to mercurial diuresis have been investigated in human subjects with the aid of simultaneous measurements of renal hemodynamics, urinary mercury and electrolyte excretion, and arterial and renal venous plasma mercury concentrations.

TL;DR: The galvanostatic method has been employed to study the interaction of diethylthallium cation with mercur metal as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that "organic calomel", Et 2 Hg 2, is formed on the mercury surface, probably, via the formation of an intermediate diorganodimetallic cation, EtHgTl + Et

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of mixed organoboron/organomercury complexes by reaction of the Li(THF)4 salt of dimesityl-1, 8-naphthalenediylborate with 1, 2-(HgCl)2C6F4 and 1, 3-(hgCl)-2C 6F4, respectively, was investigated.
Abstract: As part of our ongoing interest in the synthesis and reduction chemistry of organoboron species, we have investigated the synthesis of mixed organoboron/organomercury complexes by reaction of the Li(THF)4 salt of dimesityl-1, 8-naphthalenediylborate with 1, 2-(HgCl)2C6F4 and 1, 3-(HgCl)2C6F4, respectively. The resulting tetranuclear B2Hg2 complexes (2 and 3, respectively) were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The cyclic voltammogram of complex 2, which features a B–Hg–Hg-B core connected by an ortho-phenylene (Hg–Hg connection) and two peri-naphthalenediyl linkers (B–Hg connection), shows significant coupling of the two electroactive boryl units, presumably via a direct σ interaction of the vacant p orbitals of the four neighboring Lewis acids. This conclusion is supported by DFT calculations, which show that the LUMO of 2 spans the four Lewis acids, with a major in phase contribution from the boron 2p orbitals and the mercury 6p orbitals.
