A poly(ethylene oxide)-mercuric chloride complex

Oriented poly(ethylene oxide) fibers form a complex with mercuric chloride, with the empirical formula (CH 2 CH 2 O) 4 ·HgCl 2 . Tentatively the unit cell of the complex is orthorhombic with dimensions 13.5, 17.1, and 11.6 A. ( c , the fiber axis). In spite of a major change in the unit cell, fiber...

Description
Summary:Oriented poly(ethylene oxide) fibers form a complex with mercuric chloride, with the empirical formula (CH 2 CH 2 O) 4 ·HgCl 2 . Tentatively the unit cell of the complex is orthorhombic with dimensions 13.5, 17.1, and 11.6 A. ( c , the fiber axis). In spite of a major change in the unit cell, fiber orientation is maintained. The infrared spectrum of the complex is more detailed than that of the polymer alone, a fact consistent with a change from trans to gauche state of one OC bond.
