Crystal structure of di-chlorido-{N (1)-phenyl-N (4)-[(quinolin-2-yl-?N)methylidene]benzene-1,4-diamine-?N (4)}mercury(II).

ABSTRACT: In the mononuclear title complex, [HgCl2(C22H17N3)], synthesized from the quinoline-derived Schiff base N (1)-phenyl-N (4)-[(quinolin-2-yl)methyl-idene]benzene-1,4-di-amine (PQMBD) and HgCl2, the coordination sphere around the Hg(2+) atom is distorted tetra-hedral, comprising two Cl atoms [Hg-Cl = 2.3487?(14) and 2.4490?(15)?Å] and two N atom donors from the PQMBD ligand, viz. the quinolyl and the imine N atom [Hg-N = 2.270?(4) and 2.346?(4)?Å, respectively]. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings attached to the amino group is 43.7?(3)°. In the crystal, N-H?Cl and C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as ?-? stacking inter-actions between one phenyl ring and the pyridine ring of the quinoline moiety of an adjacent mol-ecule [centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.617?(4)?Å] are observed, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
