The crystal structures of three complexes [HgCl2 L] were determined, namely, (S)-(+)-di-chlorido-[1-phenyl-N-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)ethyl-amine-κ(2) N,N']mercury(II), [HgCl2(C14H14N2)], (S)-(+)-di-chlorido-[1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)ethyl-amine-κ(2) N,N']mercury(II), [HgCl2(C15H16N2)], and (1S,2S,3S,5R)-(+)-di-chlorido-[N-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)isopino-camph-eyl-amine-κ(2) N,N']mercury(II), [HgCl2(C16H22N2)]. The complexes consist of a bidentate chiral imine ligand coordinating to HgCl2 and crystallize with four independent mol-ecules in the first complex and two independent mol-ecules in the other two. The coordination geometry of mercury is tetra-hedral, with strong distortion towards a disphenoidal geometry, as a consequence of the imine bite angle being close to 70°. The Cl-Hg-Cl angles span a large range, 116.0 (2)-138.3 (3)°, which is related to the aggregation state in the crystals. For small Cl-Hg-Cl angles, complexes have a tendency to form dimers, via inter-molecular Hg⋯Cl contacts. These contacts become less significant in the third complex, which features the largest intra-molecular Cl-Hg-Cl angles.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been employed to carry out structural characterization of the local environment around mercury after the dissolution of the HgCl molecule. A combined EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) and XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) data analysis has been performed on the Hg L-edge absorption spectra recorded on 0.1 M HgCl solutions in water, methanol (MeOH), acetone and acetonitrile.

In the structure of the title compound, [HgCl2(C12H20N2)], the Hg(II) atom has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination sphere defined by two tertiary amine N-atom donors, as well as two Cl(-) anions [the dihedral angle between the N-Hg-N and Cl-Hg-Cl planes is 82.80 (9)°]. The five-membered chelate ring adopts an envelope conformation, with puckering parameters of Q(2) = 0.
