Abstract
In the neutral title complex, [HgCl2(C12H11NO3)], the HgII ion is pentacoordinated by two Cl atoms, one N atom and two weakly coordinating O atoms from the methyl 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetate ligand. The coordination around the HgII ion may be described as highly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal. Centrosymmetric dimers are formed by an additional weak Hg⋯Cl interaction, leading to a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the HgII ion.

The coordination around the HgII ion may be described as highly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger
Summary
The coordination around the HgII ion may be described as highly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal
