The photolysis of acetone in the region 2600–2900A has been studied at temperatures from 100–275°C, alone, in presence of liquid mercury, mercury vapor and mercury dimethyl. From a comparison of the products formed in each case and the effect of temperature thereon a mechanism is suggested which indicates that mercury methyl, if not mercury dimethyl, is formed by reaction between methyl radicals and mercury atoms suggesting a greater stability of the mercury methyl radical than hitherto believed.
