Abstract: | In the title compound, [HgCl2(C15H26N2)], the chiral alkaloid (6R,7S,8S,14S)‐(−)‐l ‐sparteine acts as a bidentate ligand, with two Cl− ligands occupying the remaining coordination sites, producing a distorted tetrahedron. The N—Hg—N plane is twisted by 81.1 (2)° from the Cl—Hg—Cl plane. The mid‐point of the N⋯N line does not lie exactly on the Cl—Hg—Cl plane but is tilted towards one of the N atoms by 0.346 Å. Similarly, the mid‐point of the Cl⋯Cl line is tilted toward one of the Cl atoms by 0.163 Å. The packing structure shows that the complex is stabilized by two interatomic Cl⋯H contacts involving both Cl atoms and the methylene or methine H atoms of the (−)‐sparteine ligand. |
