Structure of the mercury(II) mixed-halide (Br/Cl) complex of 2,2'-(5-tert-butyl-1,3-phenyl-ene)bis-(1-pentyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole).

ABSTRACT: The mercury(II) complex of 2,2'-(5-tert-butyl-1,3-phenyl-ene)bis-(1-pentyl-1H-benz-imidazole), namely catena-poly[[dihalogenido-mercury(II)]-μ-2,2'-(5-tert-butyl-1,3-phenyl-ene)bis-(1-pentyl-1H-benzimidazole)-κ²N³:N^3'], [HgBr_1.52Cl_0.48(C₃₄H₄₂N₄)], 2, has a polymeric structure bridging via the N atoms from the benzimidazole moieties of the ligand. The compound crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pca2₁ and is a racemic twin [BASF = 0.402 (9)]. The geometry around the Hg^II atom is distorted tetra-hedral, with the Hg^II atom coordinated to two N atoms, one Br atom, and a fourth coordination site
