Diisopropylmercury is an organomercury chemical compound with formula C6H14Hg. [1] It may be prepared through a reaction between 2-bromopropane and mercury(II) chloride, catalyzed by magnesium. Decomposition of diisopropylmercury by addition of ozone yields a mixture of mercury(II) chloride, mercury(I) chloride, and mercury(II) oxide. [2]
