ChemInform Abstract
Single crystals of the title compound are grown by recrystallization of HgClNH2 (160 °C, 3 weeks) synthesized from HgCl2 and NH4Cl in aq. NaOH (25 °C, 3 d). As revealed by single crystal XRD the compound crystallizes in space group Pmma with Z = 2. The crystal structure contains ∞1[Hg(NH2)2/2+] zig-zag chains. Four Cl atoms complete the coordination sphere of Hg to a distorted octahedron. These octahedra form ∞2 [HgCl4/4(NH2)2/2] layers by sharing common faces and edges. The layers are connected via hydrogen bonds.
