"In case it’s needed, though, a word to anyone who is still intrigued by this compound: synthesizing or working with dimethylmercury at this point is not cool, edgy, transgressive, or something to impress the crowd with.

Not to mention anyone who is simply unlucky enough to be downwind." - Derek Lowe
