These units are packed in such a way as to produce a trigonal bipyramidal configuration around the Hg atoms. 3 contains mononuclear deformed tetrahedral [HgBr₄]^2– anions. In all three complexes the packing of the ions is such that halogen atoms of halomercurate anions complete a tetragonal bipyramidal coordination at Cu.
