Co(N2Cl)3HgCl2 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two mercuric chloride molecules and two Co(N2Cl)3 clusters. In each Co(N2Cl)3 cluster, Co(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one N(3), one N(4), two equivalent N(1), and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and one Cl(3) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co(1) and one N(4) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(3) atom.
