Hg(CN)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight Hg(CN)2 clusters. Hg(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Hg(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom.
