Abstract: The title compound, {(C₁₀H₁₀S₈)[HgCl₃]}_n, is a sulfur-rich charge-transfer compound in which C₁₀H₁₀S₈⁺ cations and HgCl₃ anions are assembled by SS [3.371 (5)-3.588 (5) Å] and SCl [2.833 (4)-3.488 (4) Å] contacts, and by weak intermolecular C-HCl hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional wave-like structure. The two C atoms of the -CH₂-CH₂- group in one of the cations are disordered over two sites with relative occupancies of 0.83 (2) and 0.17 (2).
