Abstract
Crystals of the complex are triclinic, space group P 1 with a = 9.439(2), b = 8.108(6), c = 8.532(1) Å, α = 105.74(8), β = 88.48(3), γ = 103.64(3)°. The structure was solved using the heavy atom method and refined to a final R of 0.1033 for 1740 observed diffractometer data. The structure contains Hg in two very different environments and comprises octahedrally coordinated mercury in which linear (Me 3P) 2Hg 2+ cations are weakly linked to 4HgI 3 − anions, resulting in chains along c. The trigonal HgI 3 − units link in pairs via further weak Hg---I interactions to form highly asymmetric Hg 2I 6 2− dimers, thereby linking the chains together.
