[1,2-Bis(diisopropylphosphino)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane-κ2P,P′]dichloridomercury(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [HgCl2(C14H38B10P2)], the HgII atom is in a distorted HgCl2P2 tetrahedral coordination environment. The chelation of the Hg atom by two P atoms and two C atoms from the carborane skeleton results in a nearly planar five-membered ring.
