Abstract

Mercury is transported in the ecosystem by precipitation from
the atmosphere to soil and water, uptake by plants and animals
providing a constituent of bio-geochemical cycle. We have worked
to reduce the mercury ions from the cycle with help of oxygen/nitrogen-
containing compounds suitable to the ecosystem and thus
helpful in reducing the toxicity of the biological system. In this
direction we have synthesized (DMF)2Hg(Ox)2, (DMA)2Hg(Ox)2
and (DMF)2Hg(OAc)2, (DMA)2Hg(OAc)2 and supported by electrical
conductance measurement, where DMF = dimethyl formamide,
DMA = dimethyl acetamide, Ox = oxalate ion, OAc = acetate
ion.
