title: Diiodido(1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione-κN,N')mercury(II).
abstract: The Hg(II) atom in the title complex, [HgI(2)(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(2))], is tetra-hedrally coordinated by the N atoms of the chelating 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione ligand and two I atoms. The range of tetra-hedral angles is broad, viz. 68.94 (17)° for the chelate angle to a wide 132.627 (15)° for the I-Hg-I angle. The ligand mol-ecule is non-planar with the O atoms lying 0.422 (5) and -0.325 (5) Å out of the plane through the remaining atoms [r.m.s. deviation = 0.068 Å]. Mol-ecules are consolidated in the crystal packing by C-H⋯O inter-actions.
