Abstract
The Hg atom in the title compound, [HgCl2(C13H14N2)], adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry, being ligated by two N atoms of the benzyl(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (bpma) ligand and two Cl atoms. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes through the chelate ring and Cl—Hg—Cl atoms is 85.4 (1)°. The phenyl ring on the bpma ligand is twisted out of the pyridine plane, forming a dihedral angle of 76.0 (3)°. Disorder in this ring is also noted with two coplanar conformations having equal site occupancies.
