Bis(2-ethyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) tetrachloridomercurate(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound, (C5H9N2)2[HgCl4], consists of discrete tetrachloridomercurate dications and discrete 2-methylimidazolium cations. In the complex anion, the mercury cations are coordinated by four chloride anions with distances between 2.4568 (14) and 2.4936...

description The crystal structure of the title compound, (C5H9N2)2[HgCl4], consists of discrete tetrachloridomercurate dications and discrete 2-methylimidazolium cations. In the complex anion, the mercury cations are coordinated by four chloride anions with distances between 2.4568 (14) and 2.4936 (15) Å in a tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by intermolecular N—H...Cl interactions. One C atom of the cations is disordered and was refined using a split model (occupancy ratio 0.75:0.25).
