Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Hg(CN)2(C9H20N2S)2], the Hg atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. There is only half a molecule in the asymmetric unit. The Hg atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination involving the S atoms of two 1-butyl-3-propylthiourea groups and the C atoms of the two CN− anions. In the crystal packing, adjacent molecules are connected by intermolecular N—H...N and N—H...S hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains in three dimensions.
