In the molecule of the title compound, [HgCl2(C10H9N3)], the HgII 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 intermolecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. There is a π–π contact between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.896 (5) Å].

For the preparation of the title compound, (I), a solution of di-2-pyridylamine (0.25 g, 1.43 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was added to a solution of HgCl2 (0.39 g, 1.43 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 ml) and the resulting colorless solution was stirred for 20 min at 313 K. This solution was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, colorless block crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield; 0.47 g, 74.3%).
H2B atom (for NH) was located in difference synthesis and refined isotropically [N-H = 0.95 (14) Å and Uiso(H) = 0.10 (4) Å2]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H 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 synthes and crystal structures of [Hg(NH(py)2)Br2], (II), (Kalateh, Norouzi et al., 2008), [Hg(4,4'-dmbpy)I2], (III), (Yousefi, Tadayon Pour et al., 2008), [Hg(5,5'-dmbpy)I2], (IV), (Tadayon Pour et al., 2008), [Hg(dmphen)I2], (V), (Yousefi, Rashidi Vahid et al., 2008), {[HgCl(dm4bt)]2(µ-Cl)2}, (VI), (Khavasi et al., 2008), [Hg(6-mbpy)Cl2], (VII), (Ahmadi et al., 2008) and [{HgBr(4,4'-dmbpy)}2(µ-Br)2], (VIII), (Kalateh, Ebadi et al., 2008) [where NH(py)2 is di-2-pyridylamine, 4,4'-dmbpy is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 5,5'-dmbpy is 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 6-mbpy is 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine, dmphen is 4,7-diphenyl- 1,10-phenanthroline and dm4bt is 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bithiazole].
There are several HgII complexes, with formula, [Hg(N—N)Cl2], such as [Hg(bipy)Cl2], (IX), and [Hg(bipy)Cl2][HgCl2], (X), (Chen et al., 2006) and [Hg(dpdmbip) Cl2].CH2Cl2, (XI), (Liu et al., 2004) [where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine and dpdmbip is 4,4'-diphenyl-6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyrimidine] 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, (Fig. 1), the HgII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from di-2-pyridylamine and two Cl atoms. The Hg-Cl and Hg-N bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure (Fig. 2). The π-π contact between the pyridine rings, Cg2···Cg3i [symmetry code: (i) -x, 1 - y, 1 - z, where Cg2 and Cg3 are centroids of the rings A (N1/C1-C5) and B (N3/C6-C10), respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distance of 3.896 (5)%A.
