Abstract
The double mercury salt [Hg(C5H8N2)(2)][HgClI3]. C2H6OS was prepared and it s structure characterized. The [Hg(C5H8N2)(2)](2+) cation Lies about an inv ersion centre and the [HgClI3](2-) anion lies on a mirror plane. Cations an d anions are linked to form a one-dimensional polymer by weak Hg ... Cl int eractions [Hg ... Cl 3.3744 (3) Angstrom]. The mercury-carbene bond distanc e [2.076 (7) Angstrom] is typical of a dicationic mercury-carbene species.
