Di -μ- iodido-bis-{[(4-fluoro-benzoyl-methyl-ene)triphenyl- γ5-phospho-rane]iodido-mercury(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 mol-ecule 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.
