Abstract: In the title polymeric complex, [HgBr₂(C₁₀H₁₄N₂)]_n, each nicotine molecule is bonded to two adjacent Hg atoms, one through the pyrrolidine N atom and the other through the pyridine N atom, forming zigzag chains along [010]. The coordination around mercury is completed by two bromido ligands resulting in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement.
