Hg(CN)2 is Potassium Silver Cyanide-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent C2+ and four equivalent N3- atoms. Both Hg–C bond lengths are 2.05 Å. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and two longer (3.16 Å) Hg–N bond lengths. C2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Hg2+ and one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Hg2+ and one C2+ atom.
