Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, [HgCl₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)], the Hg^II atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from the chelating di-2-pyridylamine ligand and by two Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HCl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. There is a - contact between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.896 (5) Å].
