[Benz-yl(2-pyridyl-methyl-idene)amine]-dichloridomercury(II).

ABSTRACT: The Hg(II) ion in the title complex, [HgCl(2)(C(13)H(12)N(2))], adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry being coordinated by two Cl anions and by two N atoms of the benz-yl(2-pyridyl-methyl-ene)amine ligand. The Cl-Hg-Cl plane is twisted at 70.1 (1)° from the mean plane of the chelate ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.793 (3) Å] between the aromatic rings link the mol-ecules into zigzag chains extending along [010].
