In the title complex, [Hg(NCS)2(CH4N2S)2], the HgII atom is four-coordinated having an irregular four-coordinate geometry composed of four thione S atoms of two thiocyanate groups and two thiourea groups. The S—Hg—S angles are 172.02 (9)° for the trans-thiocyanate S atoms and 90.14 (5)° for the cis-thiourea S atoms. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bond, which forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a number of N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework. The first report of the of this compound appeared in 1966 [Korczynski (1966). Rocz. Chem. 40, 547–569] with an extremely high R factor of 17.2%, and no mention of how the data were collected.
Keywords: crystal structure; thiourea; thiocyanate; mercury(II); molecular complex; hydrogen bonding.

A mixture of thiourea, ammonium thiocyanate and mercury (II) chloride were dissolved in aqueous solution in the molar ratio 2:2:1 and thoroughly mixed for 1 h to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The solution was allowed to evaporate slowly at ambient temperature. Colourless block-like crystals were obtained in a week.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

This work is part of a research project concerning the investigation of thiourea (N2H4CS) and thiocyanate (SCN) based metal organic crystalline materials and their derivatives (Ramesh et al., 2012; Shihabuddeen Syed et al., 2013). Transition metal thiourea and thiocyanate coordination complexes are candidate materials for device applications including their nonlinear optical properties. As ligands, both thiourea and thiocyanate are interesting due to their potential formation of metal coordination complexes as they exhibit multifunctional coordination modes due to the presence of 'S' and 'N' donor atoms. With reference to the hard and soft acids and bases) concept (Ozutsumi et al., 1989; Bell et al., 2001), the soft cations show a pronounced affinity for coordination with the softer ligands, while hard cations prefer coordination with harder ligands. Several crystallographic reports about mercury(II) complexes usually consist of discrete monomeric molecules with tetrahedral (somewhat distorted) coordination environments around mercury(II) (Nawaz et al., 2010). Herein, we report on the synthesis and crystal structure of the title complex.
The title monomeric complex is composed of two thiocyanate and two thiourea ligands coordinated to the Hg atom via the softer thione S atom (Fig. 1). The four-coordinate mercury atom adopts a severely distorted tetrahedral geometry. The S—Hg—S angles are S3-Hg1-S4 = 172.02 (9) ° for the trans thiocyanate S atoms and S1-Hg1-S2 = 90.14 (5) ° for the trans thiourea S atoms. The bond distances Hg1-S3 and Hg1-S4 are 2.390 (3) and 2.381 (3) Å, respectively, while bond distances Hg1—S1 and Hg1—S2 are 3.064818) and 3.0836 (18) Å, respectively. Bond distances and angles are in agreement with those reported for related compounds (Shihabuddeen Syed et al., 2013; Safari et al., 2009; Nawaz et al., 2010). The SCN moiety is planar [to within 0.007 (1) Å with the C-N and C-S bond lengths corresponding to the values intermediate between single and double bonds. The S2-C2-N2 and S1-C1-N1 units are nearly linear with bond angles of 178.5 (7) and 179.4 (8)°, respectively. The compound is closely related with (thiocyanato-kS)tris(thiourea-kS)mercury(II) chloride (Shihabuddeen Syed et al., 2013). The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular an N-H···S hydrogen bond, which forms an S(6) ring motif (Fig. 1 and Table 1).
In the crystal, molecules are connected via N-H···N hydrogen bonds, involving the thiourea NH2 H atoms and the thiocyanate N atom (Fig. 2 and Table 1). This gives rise to the formation of a three-dimensional framework which is reinforced by N-H···S hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1).
The first report of the crystal structure of the title compound appeared in 1966 (Korczynski, 1966) with an extremely high R factor of 17.2 %, and no mention of how the data were collected.
