What Are The Uses Of Hg(IO3)2?

Hg(IO3)2, also known as mercury(II) iodate, has limited practical uses due to its toxicity and low solubility. However, it can be used in research laboratories as a starting material for the synthesis of other mercury compounds or as a source of mercury ions for certain experiments. It has also been studied for its photocatalytic properties in the degradation of organic pollutants.
