👉 Mercurification is a process in chemistry that involves converting an organic compound into its corresponding metal ion. This process is often used to synthesize new compounds, which can then be used for various applications such as catalysis and chemical synthesis. In the context of organic chemistry, it occurs when a non-enzymatic reaction between two molecules takes place where one molecule loses electrons or gains protons (positively charged ions), and the other molecule gains electrons or loses protons (negatively charged ions
