The Hg–As bond length is 2.58 Å. There are a spread of Hg–Br bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.89 Å. In the tenth Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one As2- and five Br1- atoms. The Hg–As bond length is 2.54 Å. There are a spread of Hg–Br bond distances ranging from 2.56–3.64 Å. There are five inequivalent As2- sites. In the first As2- site, As2- is bonded to three Hg2+ and one As2- atom to form AsHg3As tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one HgAs2Br4 octahedra, a cornercorner with one HgAs2Br5 pentagonal bipyramid, and corners with two AsHg3As tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 72°. The As–As bond length is 2.47 Å. In the second As2- site, As2- is bonded to three Hg2+ and one As2- atom to form corner-sharing AsHg3As tetrahedra. The As–As bond length is 2.46 Å. In the third As2- site, As2- is bonded to three Hg2+ and one As2- atom to form corner-sharing AsHg3As tetrahedra. The As–As bond length is 2.49 Å.
