Abstract
Evidence based on the IR and Raman spectral features of Hg(CN)2 in twelve solvents with widely different donor strengths supports the view that increasing solvent coordination to the Hg atom leads to a progressive reduction of the C-Hg-C angle from 180°. For solvents of high donor strength (e.g. piperidine) the C-Hg-C interbond angle may approach 145°.
