Best Answer

HgOH would be called Mercury(I) hydroxide or mercurous hydroxide. This is a compound that is not well characterised, in other words it is reported by chemists but (as far as I know) the existence of the solid compound has not been proven- e.g. by x-ray crystallography. Some authors say it only exists in solution. It would contain the diatomic Hg22+ ion and the formula would be written Hg2(OH)2.
