Bis[1-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)triazenido]mercury(II)

In the title compound, [Hg(C(14)H(13)N(4)O(3))(2)], the central Hg atom (site symmetry 2) is six-coordinated by two tridentate 1-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl) triazenide ligands through two N and one O atoms. The mononuclear complex molecules are connected into two parallel chains by intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonding interactions. These chains are connected to each other by face-to-edge C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions between the CH of the ethoxy groups and the aromatic rings, resulting in a two-dimensional architecture in the ac plane.
