Bisorganomercury compounds having the formula WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER OF FROM 0 TO 5 AND X is an inert, substantially non-interfering substituent, are prepared by contacting an alkali metal amalgam with a sulfonium salt of the formula WHEREIN X and n are as defined above, R1 and R2 are alkyl groups or R1 joins with R2 to form a cycloaliphatic group, or the corresponding hydroxy-substituted alkyl or cycloaliphatic groups, and A(-) is an anion. The reaction is preferably conducted in an aqueous solution. The bisorganomercury compounds are useful as catalysts for free-radical-initiated polymerizations and as fungicides, insecticides, and the like.
