Single crystals of SrHg(SeCN)4 · 4 pyridine are prepared by reaction of K2Hg(SeCN)4 with SrCl2 in CH3OH/C2H5OH in the presence of pyridine.
The crystal structure was solved with X-ray methods (Mr = 1024.1, space group P4̄n2, Z = 2, a = 9.552(2) Å, c = 17.610(7) Å, V = 1606.7 Å3, λ(AgKα) = 0.5583 Å, dc = 2.12 g cm-3, μ(AgKα) = 57.40 cm-1, F(000) = 943.7, T = 298 K. Final R = 0.043 for 1050 independent reflections).
The structure consists of nearly tetrahedral Hg(SeCN)4-units. The SeCN-group is linear within the experimental error. The N-atoms of SeCN and pyridine contribute to the Archimedean antiprismatic coordination of strontium
