title: catena-Poly[[chlorido(methyl phenyl sulfide-κS)mercury(II)]-μ-chlorido].
abstract: The title compound, [HgCl(2)(C(7)H(8)S)](n), was isolated from the reaction of MeSPh with HgCl(2). The Hg(II) atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry and is coordinated by one S atom and three Cl atoms. Two of the Cl atoms act as bridging ligands between the Hg atoms, forming a two-dimensional polymeric structure.
