In the title compound, [HgBr2(C13H11NO)2], the HgII atom adopts a four-coordinated HgN2Br2 geometry, formed by two pyridine N atoms from two ligands and two bromide anions. The complex is located on a twofold axis. The coordination geometry is close to forming a see-saw (SS-4) polyhedron, the symmetry-related organic ligands being almost perpendicular; the dihedral angles between the two pyridine rings and between the two benzene rings are 85.5 (4) and 87.7 (4)°, respectively. Within the organic ligand, the pyridine ring is nearly coplanar with the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 13.1 (8)°]. In the crystal, the molecular complexes are connected through weak intermolecular C—H⋯Br contacts.

A solution of HgBr2 (4.7 mg, 0.013 mmol) in CH3OH (2 ml) was layered onto a solution of L (5.0 mg, 0.025 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml). The system was left for about three weeks at room temperature, and colourless crystals were obtained. Yield, 54%.
All non-H atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. All H atoms were placed in idealized positions and treated as riding to their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic CH) or 0.96 Å (methyl CH3), and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(carrier C atom), with exception of the methyl H atoms, for which Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C13). Restraints for anisotropic displacements parameters of C2, C4, C7, C12 and C13 were applied.
Research on supramolecular compounds from asymmetric organic ligands has become popular because of their potential applications in areas such as magnetic (He et al., 2006), luminescent property (Allendorf et al., 2009; Hou et al., 2010) and nonlinear optical materials (Evans & Lin, 2002). Among available strategies, the geometry of organic ligands is one of the most important factors in determining the structure of the framework. Pyridyl derivatives have been widely used in supramolecular chemistry and many coordination polymers with versatile structures and potential properties have been reported (Fujita et al., 2005; Song et al., 2010). We report herein a molecular complex, HgL2Br2, generated from an asymmetric organic ligand, 1-(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)ethanone (L) and HgBr2.
In the title compound, each HgII center adopts a distorted HgN2Br2 tetrahedral coordination geometry, formed by two pyridine N atoms from two ligands and two bromide anions. The N1—Hg1—N1i and Br1—Hg1—Br1i angles are 100.3 (4)° and 147.81 (9)°, respectively [Symmetry code: (i) -x + 2, y, -z + 1.5]. Within the organic ligand, the pyridine ring is nearly coplanar with the benzene ring [dihedral angle: 13.1 (8)°]. In this compound, two ligands L are bridged by one HgII center to form a molecular complex with a see-saw SS-4 polyhedron geometry (Fig. 1). The dihedral angles between two pyridyl planes and between two benzene planes are 85.5 (4) and 87.7 (4)°, respectively, close to 90°. So, a feature characteristic of the complex structure is the almost orthogonal arrangement for the two symmetry-related organic ligands.
In the solid state, these molecular complexes associate into a network through weak intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds, characterized by H···Br, C···Br separations and C—H···Br angle of 3.011 (2), 3.579 (13)Å and 121.0 (7)°, respectively.

Research on supramolecular compounds from asymmetric organic ligands has become popular because of their potential applications in areas such as magnetic (He et al., 2006), luminescent property (Allendorf et al., 2009; Hou et al., 2010) and nonlinear optical materials (Evans & Lin, 2002). Among available strategies, the geometry of organic ligands is one of the most important factors in determining the structure of the framework. Pyridyl derivatives have been widely used in supramolecular chemistry and many coordination polymers with versatile structures and potential properties have been reported (Fujita et al., 2005; Song et al., 2010). We report herein a molecular complex, HgL2Br2, generated from an asymmetric organic ligand, 1-(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)ethanone (L) and HgBr2.
In the title compound, each HgII center adopts a distorted HgN2Br2 tetrahedral coordination geometry, formed by two pyridine N atoms from two ligands and two bromide anions. The N1—Hg1—N1i and Br1—Hg1—Br1i angles are 100.3 (4)° and 147.81 (9)°, respectively [Symmetry code: (i) -x + 2, y, -z + 1.5]. Within the organic ligand, the pyridine ring is nearly coplanar with the benzene ring [dihedral angle: 13.1 (8)°]. In this compound, two ligands L are bridged by one HgII center to form a molecular complex with a see-saw SS-4 polyhedron geometry (Fig. 1). The dihedral angles between two pyridyl planes and between two benzene planes are 85.5 (4) and 87.7 (4)°, respectively, close to 90°. So, a feature characteristic of the complex structure is the almost orthogonal arrangement for the two symmetry-related organic ligands.
In the solid state, these molecular complexes associate into a network through weak intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds, characterized by H···Br, C···Br separations and C—H···Br angle of 3.011 (2), 3.579 (13)Å and 121.0 (7)°, respectively.
