(K)2HgBiI6 is alpha Rhenium trioxide-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure consists of eight 7440-09-7 atoms inside a HgBiI6 framework. In the HgBiI6 framework, Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form HgI6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Bi(1)I6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Bi(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form BiI6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Hg(1)I6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. I(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Hg(1) and one Bi(1) atom.
