[μ-1,2-bis(phenylsulfanyl)ethane-κ2S:S′]-bis[dibromomercury(II)]

The title complex, [ Hg2Br4( C14H14S2)], has a dinuclear structure with one 1,2- bis( phenylsulfanyl) ethane ligand linking two HgBr2 units, in which the Hg (II) center adopts a near T- shape coordination geometry formed by two Br- anions and one S atom of 1,2- bis( phenylsulfanyl) ethane. There is a crystallographic inversion center at the mid- point of the central C - C bond. In the crystal structure, when the Hg - Br weak interactions are considered, the dinuclear structure expands into a three- dimensional framework.
