The compound crystallizes monoclinically; space group P21/n, a = 767.3(4), b = 1854.7(7), c = 872.5(7) pm, and β = 101.48(5)°. The structure consists of a net­work of chains -Cl-Hg-Cl-Hg- and -(Cl-Hg-)2NCS-Hg-SCN-(Hg-Cl)2-which share common Hg atoms and form distorted hexagonal and trigonal channels. The hexamethylenetetramine molecules lie in the hexagonal channels. They act as μ3 bridging ligands, forming bonds to two Hg atoms in a given layer, and an additional bond to a Hg atom a neighbouring layer.de540 Chemie und zugeordnete Wissenschaftenhexamethylenetetramine complexesMercury(II) chloride thiocyanate adductcrystal structureArticle1865-7117
