Description

The diffraction analysis of the C6H24Cl6CoHg2IN6 crystals [a=10.240(3) A, b=11.515(3) A, c=18.859(5) A, space group P212121, Z=4, and R=0.0699) revealed that the compound consists of the complex tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) cations and [Hg2ICl6]3- anions. The configurations of the ethylenediamine rings are δ, λ, and δ, and the absolute configuration of the complex is Λ. In the anion, two inequivalent Hg atoms are bridged by the I atom and form three bonds each with the nearest neighboring Cl atoms. The Hg-Cl bond lengths range between 2.428(8) and 2.654(8) A, and the Hg-I bond lengths are 2.734(2) and 2.766(2) A
