Abstract

The solubility of mercury(II) iodide in m-terphenyl and its vapor pressure in dilute solution in p-terphenyl were measured over a temperature range near its melting point. The results are compared with the expectation from solubility parameter theory, and it is concluded that the transfer of the mercury(II) iodide from the liquid to its solution in either of the terphenyls, either directly or via the vapor, is considerably more endothermic than predicted from that theory, indicating self-interactions of the solvent which are disrupted in these processes.
