Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, [HgI₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)], the Hg^II atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and two I atoms. There is a - contact between pyridine rings of adjacent molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.723 (5) Å].
