Abstract
The reaction of 1-methyl-1,3-imidazole-2-thione (meimtH) with mercury(II) iodide in methanol in a 2:1 molar ratio resulted in the formation of single crystals of the title compound, [HgI2(C4H6N2S)2]. The Hg atom is coordinated by two I [2.7809 (9) and 2.7999 (8) Å] and two thione S atoms [2.520 (3) and 2.576 (3) Å] with irregular tetrahedral coordination geometry. The NH groups of the imidazole ring take part in intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with I atoms [N⋯I 3.596 (8) and 3.611 (9) Å, respectively] joining molecules into infinite chains parallel to the z axis.
