Abstract
Abstract 4-Ethynylpyridine reacts with mercuric acetate to yield bis(4-pyridylethynyl)mercury whose X-ray crystal structure reveals infinite zigzag chains in which the metal has a T-shaped coordination geometry consisting of two ethynyl groups attached at close distances in an approximately linear fashion, the pyridine of a neighbouring molecule providing the third and distinctly longer coordinate bond approximately perpendicular to the other two.
