Diphenylmercury is a colourless, crystalline[2] organomercury compound with the chemical formula C12H10Hg. It can be synthesised by the reaction of a 2:1 molar ratio of mercury(II) chloride and methyltriphenyltin in ethanol.[2] As with almost all organomercury compounds, the coordination geometry at mercury is linear.[2]
