HgCl2 is Cyanogen Chloride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four mercuric chloride molecules. Hg(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cl(1,2) atoms. Cl(1,2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Hg(1) atom.
