Abstract
The principle of molecular activation analysis is described, as well as its unsuccessful application to the species specific determination of methylmercury in fish. The reasons for the failure of the method were determined and are found to be of significance to hot atom chemistry and to possible future use of this principle. The reasons are: (i) a matrix dilution of the species sought, (ii) a scavenging, probably of methyl groups, by serine or related components of fish powder, and (iii) a methylation by some unidentified component associated with the fish fats.
