[N,N'-Bis(2,3,4-trimeth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-ethane-1,2-diamine-κ(2)N,N']dibromido-mercury(II).

In the title compound, [HgBr(2)(C(22)H(28)N(2)O(6))], the Hg(II) ion is bonded to two Br(-) ions and two N atoms of the chelating Schiff base ligand in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The Schiff base ligand adopts an E,E conformation. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two halves of the central N,N'-dimethyl-ethylenediamine part of the ligand is 2.3 (11)°. The crystal studied was twinned by pseudomerohedry [twin law (0-10/-100/00-1)]; the contribution of the minor twin component refined to 0.208 (3).

Refinement. The refinement was carried out against all reflections. The conventional R-factor is always based on F. The goodness of fit as well as the weighted R-factor are based on F and F2 for refinement carried out on F and F2, respectively. The threshold expression is used only for calculating R-factors etc. and it is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.The program used for refinement, Jana2006, uses the weighting scheme based on the experimental expectations, see _refine_ls_weighting_details, that does not force S to be one. Therefore the values of S are usually larger than the ones from the SHELX program.
