The crystal structure of mercurous iodide, Hg(2)I(2), has been determined previously from X-ray powder diffraction data [Havighurst (1926 ▶). J. Am. Chem. Soc.48, 2113-2125]. The results of the current redetermination based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data provide more precise geometrical data and also anisotropic displacement parameters for the Hg and I atoms, which are both situated on positions with site-symmetry 4mm. The structure consists of linear dimers I-Hg-Hg-I extending along t ...[more]
