Crystal structure of a new mercury(II) complex dichloromercury–2/3thiourea
Abstract
The title compound has been isolated. Its composition and crystal structure have been determined from single-crystal X-ray photographic data by the heavy-atom method, and refined by block-diagonal least-squares to R 0·10 for 408 visually estimated reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a= 8·00(1), b= 14·99(2), c= 7·21(1), β= 93·5(5)°, Z= 6 (for HgCl2,2/3tu).
The complex is effectively [{HgCl(tu)}Cl]n,
