The molecular diamagnetic susceptibility of mercuric iodide has been measured at room temperature and was found to be 138.6 × 10-6 e.m.u. gm mol for the red tetragonal form. A modified Slater-Angus method gave a satisfactory agreement between the calculated and the experimental results if the bond linking mercury and iodine was assumed to be about 60% covalent. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility of mercuric iodide was also determined. © 1975.
