(K)2YHgBr6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure consists of eight 7440-09-7 atoms inside a YHgBr6 framework. In the YHgBr6 framework, Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form YBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Hg(1)Br6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form HgBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)Br6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Br(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Y(1) and one Hg(1) atom.
