[-1,2-Bis(phenylsulfanyl)ethane-²S:S']bis[dibromomercury(II)]

J.-B. Gong, L.-N. Zhou and W. Chen

Abstract: The title complex, [Hg₂Br₄(C₁₄H₁₄S₂)], has a dinuclear structure with one 1,2-bis(phenylsulfanyl)ethane ligand linking two HgBr₂ units, in which the Hg^II center adopts a near T-shape coordination geometry formed by two Br^- anions and one S atom of 1,2-bis(phenylsulfanyl)ethane. There is a crystallographic inversion center at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. In the crystal structure, when the Hg-Br weak interactions are considered, the dinuclear structure expands into a three-dimensional framework.
