CdHg2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg(1) and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
CdHg2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg(1) and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.00 Å) and four longer (3.27 Å) Hg(1)-Hg(1) bond lengths. There is one shorter (2.99 Å) and four longer (3.27 Å) Hg(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
