W.-Y. Guo and G.-Y. Dong

Abstract: In the title compound, [Hg(C₃₂H₃₀N₄O)](PF₆)₂·CH₃CN, the mercury(II) ion is coordinated by two carbene C atoms [Hg-C = 2.060 (6) and 2.066 (6) Å] and one ether O atom [Hg-O = 2.561 (5) Å] in a distorted T-shaped geometry with a C-Hg-C angle of 166.3 (3)°. One hexafluoridophosphate anion is rotationally disordered between two orientations with an approximate ratio of 2:1. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C-HF and C-HN interactions.
