In the molecule of the title compound, [HgI2(C12H12N2)], the HgII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from the 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand and by two I atoms. There is a π–π contact between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.775 (6) Å].

For the preparation of the title compound, (I), a solution of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.25 g, 1.33 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was added to a solution of HgI2 (0.61 g, 1.33 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 ml) and the resulting colorless solution was stirred for 20 min at room temperature, and then it was left to evaporate slowly. After one week, colorless block crystals of (I) were isolated (yield; 0.61 g, 71.8%).
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Recently, we reported the syntheses and crystal structures of [Zn(5,5'-dmbpy)Cl2], (II), (Khalighi et al., 2008), [Cd(5,5'-dmbpy)(µ-Cl)2]n, (III), (Ahmadi et al., 2008) and {[HgCl(dm4bt)]2(µ-Cl)2}, (IV), (Khavasi et al., 2008) [where 5,5'-dmbpy is 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and dm4bt is 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4' -bithiazole]. There are several HgII complexes, with formula, [HgI2(N-N)], such as [HgI2(bipy)], (V), [HgI2(phen)], (VI), [HgI2(2,9-dmphen)], (VII), (Freire et al., 1999), [HgI2(bipy)][HgI2], (VIII), (Chen et al., 2006) and [HgI2(TMDA)], (IX), (Htoon & Ladd, 1976) [where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine, phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, dmphen is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and TMDA is tetramethylethylenediamine] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1), the HgII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and two I atoms. The Hg—I and Hg—N bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges, as in (V) and (VI).
In the crystal structure, the π–π contact (Fig. 2) between the pyridine rings, Cg2···Cg3i [symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, -y, -z, where Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the rings (N1/C1–C3/C5/C6) and (N2/C7–C9/C11/C12), respectively] may stabilize the structure, with centroid–centroid distance of 3.775 (6) Å.
