Hg(SCN)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one mercury(ii) thiocyanate molecule. Hg(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one S(1) and one S(2) atom. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one N(1) and one S(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one N(2) and one S(2) atom. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(2) atom. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Hg(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Hg(1) and one C(2) atom.
