Abstract
In the title complex, [HgBr2(C12H11NO3)], the HgII ion has a distorted core trigonal–planar geometry comprising two Br atoms and one quinoline N atom of the methyl 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetic acid ligand. The angles around the Hg atom vary from 100.31 (15) to 152.65 (4)°. Two additional Hg⋯O interactions [2.739 (1) and 2.905 (1) Å] complete the coordination sphere about the HgII atom.
Highlights
For transition metal coordination compounds with 8-quinolinyloxyacetic acid and its derivatives as ligands, see: Cheng et al (2007); Song et al
The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry
The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2
