Crystal structure of {2,6-bis-[(di-methyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl-κ(3)N,C(1),N'}(bromido/chlorido)-mercury(II).

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, {2,6-bis-[(di-methyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl-κ(3)N,C(1),N'}[bromido/chlorido-(0.30/0.70)]mercury(II)-{2,6-bis-[(di-methyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl-κ(3)N,C(1),N'}[bromido/chlorido-(0.24/0.76)]mer-cury(II) (1/1), [HgBr(0.30)Cl(0.70)(C(12)H(19)N(2))]·[HgBr(0.24)Cl(0.76)(C(12)H(19)N(2))], there are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of formula LHgX {L = 2,6-bis-[(di-methyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl and X = Cl/Br}. In each mol-ecule, the halide site is mixed Cl/Br, with occupancies of 0.699†(7):0.301†(7) and 0.763†(7):0.237†(7), respectively. The two mol-ecules are linked into dimers by a combination of Hg⋯Hg [Hg⋯Hg = 3.6153†(3)†à ] and C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
