[μ-1,1'-(Butane-1,4-di-yl)di-1H-benz-imidazole-κN:N]bis-{[N,N'-bis(car-boxy-meth-yl)ethyl-enediamine-N,N'-di-acetato-κO,O',O'',N,N']mercury(II)} methanol disolvate.

The binuclear title complex, [Hg(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O(8))(2)(C(18)H(18)N(4))]·2CH(3)OH, lies on an inversion center with the unique Hg(II) ion coordinated in a disorted octa-hedral environment with one Hg-N bond significantly shorter than the other two. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link complex and solvent mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
