[3,3′-Bis(1-naphthylmethyl)-1,1′-(2,2′-oxydiethylene)bis(imidazol-2-ylidene)]mercury(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate) acetonitrile solvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Hg(C32H30N4O)](PF6)2·CH3CN, the mercury(II) ion is coordinated by two carbene C atoms [Hg—C = 2.060 (6) and 2.066 (6) Å] and one ether O atom [Hg—O = 2.561 (5) Å] in a distorted T-shaped geometry with a C—Hg—C angle of 166.3 (3)°. One hexafluoridophosphate anion is rotationally disordered between two orientations with an approximate ratio of 2:1. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C—H...F and C—H...N interactions.
