Abstract
THE possibility of obtaining the absorption spectrum of atomic species in the liquid phase was first pointed out by Tyson and West using the electrolysis of various metal ions1. We provide here new evidence of the existence of mercury atoms in aqueous solution using chemically reducing mercury ion followed by spectroscopic observations.
