Mercury(II) iodide react with potassium to amide produce mercury(II) nitride, potassium iodide and ammonia. The reaction is conducted in a liquid ammonia at a temperature near -40°C^[8]. mercury(II) nitride setting-out ^[16]

3HgI₂ + 6KNH₂ → Hg₃N₂ + 6KI + 4NH₃
or
3HgI₂ + 2KNH₂ + 2NH₃ → Hg₃N₂ + 2KI + 4NH₄I^[8]
