Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of ClHg · (SH)[SC(NH2)2]4 was determined from three-dimensional x-ray data. Crystals are monoclinic with a = 6.076(4) Å, b = 8.491(6) Å, c = 33.39(3) Å, β = 91.07(5)°, Z = 4 and space group P21/c. The structure was solved by the heavy atom (Patterson) method, and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to a conventional R value of 0.11 for 1380 independent reflections, visually estimated. The structure consists of Hg++(SC(NH2)2]4 cations which are well separated from the chloride and (SH)− anions. The coordination geometry around each Hg atom is roughly tetrahedral.
