Abstract
The complex [(HOCH2)3CNH3] +2 [HgI4]2− (I) was synthesized by reacting (trioxymethyl)methylammonium iodide with mercury dioide (2: 1 mol/mol) in acetone. X-ray crystallography shows that the complex consists of two types of crystallographically independent [(HOCH2)3CNH3]+ cations and tetrahedral anions [HgI4]2− (IHgI, 106.49(2)°–113.99(4)°; Hg-I, 2.7849(8)-2.8105(8) Å. [(HOCH2)3CNH3]+ cations are linked via hydrogen bonds O…H-N and O-H…N (O…N, 2.84–2.92 Å) to form polymer chains, which are cross-linked with one another via anions (I…H, 2.81, 2.82 Å).
