Abstract The crystal structure of the title compound was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system witha=8.152(4),b=17.994(7),c=8.634(9) Å, β=108.92(5)°, space group P21/c (N:14),V=1198.02 Å3,Z=4. The mercuryl(II) atom forms two strong, almost colinear bonds (bond angle 176.1(4)°) with a carbon of the phenyl ring (Hg−C=1.99(1) Å) and one of the acetate oxygen atoms (Hg−O(1)=2.005(7) Å). These primary bonds are supplemented by secondary intramolecular interactions with the pyridine nitrogen (Hg...N=2.727(9) Å) and the other acetate oxygen (Hg...O(2)=2.925(8) Å), although the latter is very weak and the acetate anion therefore practically monodentate. Weak additional intermolecular Hg−C and Hg−O(1)interactions contribute to the lattice structure.
