Supporting information
A solution of 27.15 mg (0.1 mmol) of mercury (II) chloride in 2 ml water was added to a solution of 18.62 mg (0.1 mmol) of 1,2,3,9-tetrahydropyrrolo(2,1 - b)quinazolin-9-one in 2 ml acetone. The solution was allowed for slow evaporation at the room temperature. Colourless needle shaped crystals were obtained after several days.
Carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (aromatic) and 0.97 Å (CH2) and were refined with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C). After completion of the structure model, a difference Fourier synthesis resulted in a local maximum closer than 0.8 Å to Hg1.

Special details top 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. |

The title compound represents the first crystal structure of a complex with the heterocyclic ligand 1,2,3,9-tetrahydropyrrolo(2,1 - b)quinazolin-9-one; the uncoordinated organic molecule has been reported by Turgunov et al. (1995).
The asymmetric unit contains a slightly bent HgCl2 moiety (Cl1—Hg1—Cl2 = 171.44 (6)°) and one ligand molecule (Fig.1) In the crystal each HgII cation is coordinated by four bridging chlorido ligands in the equatorial plane; one N- and one O-connected organic ligand occupy the axial positions of a distorted octahedron. The Hg—Cl bonds are asymmetric with two short and two longer distances (Table 1).
The bridging chlorido ligands form zigzag Hg—Cl—Hg—Cl ring chains in the direction of the shortest lattice parameter. Strongly asymmetric halide bridges are well established structural features in the coordination chemistry of divalent mercury (Batten et al., 2002; Hu et al., 2007; Merkens et al., 2010; Englert, 2010).
The chlorido-bridged Hg···Hg distances amount to 3.9342 (7) and 3.9442 (7) Å. As the result of halide bridging in the [100] and bridging of the ditopic organic ligand in the [010] direction, an overall two-dimensional sheet is formed which is depicted in Fig. 2.
The observed structure is stabilized by weak C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Cooperative π–π stacking interactions between neighbouring quinazolone ring systems also contribute to the stability of this layer structure (Cg1···Cg1i=3.942 (4) Cg1···Cg2i=3.621 (4) Å, where Cg1 represents the centroid of the pyrimidinone and Cg2 that of the benzo ring centroid, (i): 2 - x,1 - y,-z).
The ligand molecule is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.044 (7) Å for atom C10 and an r.m.s. deviation of 0.015 Å.
