Abstract

The central mercury atom in Hg[S2CN(CH2CH2OH)2]2 is asymmetrically chelated by two dithiocarbamate ligands leading to a distorted square planar geometry. Molecules aggregate into supramolecular chains via Hg···S interactions that are connected into a three dimensional array by extensive hydrogen bonding interactions. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with a = 13.8173(7) Å, b = 4.5307(1) Å, c = 26.0261(12) Å, and Z = 4.

Index Abstract

Molecules associate into supramolecular chains via Hg···S interactions and these are connected into a three dimensional architecture by O–H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
