Dibromido[methyl 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy-κ2N,O)acetic acid-κO]mercury(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [HgBr2(C12H11NO3)], the HgII ion has a distorted core trigonal–planar geometry comprising two Br atoms and one quinoline N atom of the methyl 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetic acid ligand. The angles around the Hg atom vary from 100.31 (15) to 152.65 (4)°. Two additional Hg...O interactions [2.739 (1) and 2.905 (1) Å] complete the coordination sphere about the HgII atom.
