The most mercury‐rich sodium amalgam, Na 11 Hg 52 , is prepared as single crystals by the combination of electrolytic and thermochemical methods. As C. Hoch and A. Simon show in their Communication on page 3262 ff. this amalgam has a close relationship to the chloralkali process and a surprisingly complex structure for a binary compound. Such mercury‐rich amalgams serve as models of polar metals in which a transition from the classical metal–metal bonding towards ionic bonding occurs.
