Di-mu-iodido-bis{[(4-fluorobenzoylmethylene)triphenyl-lambda(5)-phosphorane]iodido-mercury(II)}

Abstract

In the title complex, [Hg2I4(C26H20FOP)(2)], the Hg-II centre is four-coordinate with one short Hg-I bond [2.6895 (7) A], one Hg-C bond and two asymmetric bridging Hg-I bonds with distances of 2.7780 (8) and 3.2599 (8) A. The title molecule has a crystallographic inversion centre at the centroid of the four-membered ring formed by the two Hg atoms and two I atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.
