Di-μ-iodido-bis{[(4-fluorobenzoylmethylene)triphenyl-λ5-phosphorane]iodidomercury(II)}

Abstract

In the title complex, [Hg2I4(C26H20FOP)2], the HgII centre is four-coordinate with one short Hg—I bond [2.6895 (7) Å], one Hg—C bond and two asymmetric bridging Hg—I bonds with distances of 2.7780 (8) and 3.2599 (8) Å. 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...O hydrogen bonds.
