Bis(2,4-dimethyl-pyridinium) tetra-bromido-mercurate(II).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C7H10N)2[HgBr4], consists of one cation and one half-anion, bis-ected by a twofold rotation axis passing through the metal atom. The anion exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral arrangement about the Hg(II) atom. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by N-H⋯Br hydrogen-bonding inter-actions along [010]. Cation-cation π-π stacking and Br⋯Br inter-molecular inter-actions are absent.
