[5] In veterinary medicine, mercury(II) iodide is used in blister ointments in exostoses, bursal enlargement, etc. [citation needed] It can appear as a precipitate in many reactions.
2 ion, found in mercury(I) (mercurous) compounds. The existence of the metal–metal bond in Hg(I) compounds was established using X-ray studies in 1927 [ 2 ] [ page needed ] and Raman spectroscopy in 1934 [ 3 ] making it one of the earliest, if not the first, metal–metal covalent bonds to be characterised.
