Abstract: In the title complex, [Hg(NO₃)₂(C₁₀H₁₅N₃OS)₂], the Hg^II ion (site symmetry ) adopts a grossly distorted octahedral geometry by chelation of two neutral Him-thz ligands [Him-thz is 2-(2'-thiazole)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyldihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-hydroxy] through their thiazole N atoms [Hg-N = 2.846 (2) Å] and reduced imino nitroxide N atoms [Hg-N = 2.055 (2) Å], leading to a five-membered ring, together with two O atoms from two nitrate anions [Hg-O = 2.859 (3) Å]. The molecules form one-dimensional chains by way of intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds.
