Poly[(μ(2)-2-amino-pyrimidine-κ(2)N(1):N(3))di-μ(2)-chlorido-mercury(II)].

The title compound, [HgCl(2)(C(4)H(5)N(3))](n), features a two-dimensional network parallel to (001) that is based on an Hg(II) atom octahedrally coordinated by four μ(2)-Cl atoms and two μ(2)-2-amino-pyrimidine (apym) ligands in trans positions, yielding a distorted HgCl(4)N(2) octa-hedron. The coordination network can be described as an uninodal 4-connected net with the sql topology. The Hg(II) ion lies on a site of -1 symmetry and the apym ligand lies on sites of m symmetry with the mirror plane perpendicular to the pyrimidine plane and passing through the NH(2) group N atom. This polymeric structure is stabilized by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and columnar π-π stacking of pyrimidine rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.832 (2) Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
