Dibromido(2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bi-1,3-thiazole-κ2N,N′)mercury(II)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [HgBr2(C8H8N2S2)], contains two crystallographically independent molecules. The HgII atoms are four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from a 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bi-1,3-thiazole ligand and two Br atoms....

Description
Summary:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [HgBr2(C8H8N2S2)], contains two crystallographically independent molecules. The HgII atoms are four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from a 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bi-1,3-thiazole ligand and two Br atoms. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds and π–π contacts between the thiazole rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.670 (3) and 3.614 (2) Å] stabilize the structure.
