(-38.83 °C, -37.89 °F)
it is of course called mercury solid

Mercury can be frozen, which turns it into a solid, at -38.837°C (234.32K).

Another way of turning mercury into a solid would be to react it so that it formed a crystalline material, such as cinnabar (Mercuric sulfide, HgS), or any one of a number of other mercury salts.

the mp is about 223ºK so below that it's a solid.
