A THF solution (10 ml) of mercuric chloride (2 mmol) was mixed with a DMF solution (5 ml) of 1,4-bis(3-pyridylaminomethyl)benzene (2 mmol). The solution was filtered and sent aside for the grown of colorless crystals.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C). The amino H-atoms similar treated (N–H 0.86 Å).
The lattice DMF molecule is disordered over two sites; the disorder could not be refined, and was assumed to be a 1:1 type of disorder. The C–O distances were restrained to 1.25±0.01 Å, the Ccarbonyl–N distances to 1.35±0.01 Å and the N–Cmethyl distances to 1.45±0.01 Å. Each component was retrained to planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.01 Å. The temperature factors of the primed atoms were set to those of the unprimed ones, and the anisotropic temperature factors were restrained to be nearly isotropic.
The final difference Fourier map had peaks/holes in the vicinity of Hg1.

1,4-Bis(2-pyridylaminomethyl)benzene is a flexible N-heterocycle whose pyridyl and amino N-atoms are capable for forming coordination polymers (Zhu et al., 2007). The crystal structure of HgCl2(C18H18N4).DMF features the N-heterocycle linking adjacent HgCl2 units into a helical chain (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The geometry of HgII is a tetrahedron. The lattice DMF molecule is disordered in two positions in a 1:1 ratio. The N-heterocycle forms an N–H···O hydrogen bond to the solvent molecule at an N···O distance of 2.99 (3) and 3.03 (3) Å; the hydrogen bond probably stabilizes the solvent molecule so that it is not lost during crystallization.
