Abstract: The Hg atom in the title complex, [HgCl₂(C₁₂H₁₃N₃)], adopts a square-pyramidal geometry, being ligated by three N atoms of the tridentate bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand and two Cl atoms, with one of the latter occupying the apical position. Disorder is noted in the amine portion of the ligand and this was modelled over two sites, with the major component having a site-occupancy factor of 0.794 (14).
