Title: "BrHg", "BrHgO", "BrHgOH" radicals: how can I name them?
Post by: xshadow on July 13, 2022, 04:55:08 PM
Hi!!

Looking the atmospheric mercury reactions I've seen tjis radicals:

BrHgI· 
BrHgIIO 
BrHgIIOH   (this one is not a radical!l

Now which is their names?
Looking for a nome I don't find anything on internet. They always write the chemical formula without name them

Thanks

Yes , it's that..but they don't name them!
I need their iupac/chemical name

The HgBr radical how should I name it?
"Mercury(i) bromide radical"?

I was just noticing that the search results in GOOGLE were different when you changed
from
BrHg(II)O
to
Hg(II)BrO

Given the way search engines work I thought you might find you answer there
but alas I do not get any better results than you

Best thing to do is to check IUPAC rules on naming, they are collected in one of their "color" books. Sorry, I'm on my mobile now and can't check details to point you in a more precise direction, but it is not that difficult to Google.
