Abstract
The HgII ion in the title complex, [HgCl2(C13H12N2)], adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry being coordinated by two Cl anions and by two N atoms of the benzyl(2-pyridylmethylene)amine ligand. The Cl—Hg—Cl plane is twisted at 70.1 (1)° from the mean plane of the chelate ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.793 (3) Å] between the aromatic rings link the molecules into zigzag chains extending along [010].
