Hg is alpha Po-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HgHg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
Hg is alpha Po-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HgHg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are four shorter (3.03 Å) and two longer (3.06 Å) Hg(1)-Hg(1) bond lengths.
