Abstract
The potential surface of the reaction between the polyhydrated monomethyl mercury cation and the hydroxonium cation is considered. An \(S_{N^2 } \) type reaction, resulting in solvate-separated products (mercury dication and methane molecule), was found to be thermodynamically probable. The thermal balance of the reaction is 132.3 kJ/mole. The activation energy of the limiting stage of the process is 56.7 kJ/mole.
