title: Poly[(μ-2-acet-oxy-benzoato)(2-acet-oxy-benzoato)-μ-aqua-mercury(II)].
abstract: In the title compound, [Hg(C(9)H(7)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)](n), the Hg(II) ion is five-coordinated by three acetylsalicylate anions and water leading to the formation of a coordination polymer extending parallel to (001). O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure.
