In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [HgCl2(C16H14N4S)], the Hg(II) cation is linked to two Cl atoms and two imidazole N atoms of the chelating bis-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)meth-yl]sulfane ligand, forming a slightly distorted tetra-hedral environment. The substitued imidazole rings of the ligand are almost perfectly planar [with maximum deviations of 0.017 (3) and 0.012 (3) Å] and form a dihedral angle of 42.51 (5)°. The crystal packing can be described as alternating layers parallel to ( ...[more]
