Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and physicochemical characterization of bis-[4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridinium] di-μ-chlorido-bis[di-chlorido-mercurate(II)].

ABSTRACT: The title mol-ecular salt, (C7H11N2)2[Hg2Cl6], crystallizes with two 4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridinium cations (A and B) and two half hexa-chlorido-dimercurate(II) anions in the asymmetric unit. The organic cations exhibit essentially the same features with an almost planar pyridyl ring (r.m.s. deviations of 0.0028 and 0.0109 Å), which forms an inclined dihedral angle with the dimethyamino group [3.06 (1) and 1.61 (1)°, respectively]. The di-methyl-amino groups in the two cations are planar, and the C-N bond lengths are shorter than that in 4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridine. In the crystal, mixed cation-anion layers lying parallel to the (010) plane are formed through N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and adjacent layers are linked by C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The analyses of
