High co-ordination numbers for methylmercury(II); X-ray and 1H n.m.r. studies of [MeHgL]NO3(L = 4,4,4-triethyl-2,2:6,2-terpyridyl and di-2-pyridylmethane)

Methylmercury(II) forms complexes [MeHgL]NO3(L = 2,2:6,2-terpyridyls and di-2-pyridylmethane) where the ligands L are bidentate in methanol, but tridentate and bidentate, respectively, in the solid state with co-ordination geometries for mercury based on a near linear dominant C–Hg–N unit with additional weak Hg–N bonding.
