Abstract: In the title compound, [HgI₂(C₂₃H₁₄N₄O)], the Hg^II atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms from one 1-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)naphthalen-2-ol ligand and by two I atoms in a distorted tetrahedral environment. An intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond stabilizes the molecular conformation and an intermolecular N-HI interaction stabilizes the crystal packing.
