Hg8O4Br3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Hg+1.38+ sites. In the first Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.12 Å) and one longer (2.13 Å) Hg–O bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.18 Å) and one longer (3.38 Å) Hg–Br bond lengths. In the second Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Hg+1.38+, two O2-, and one Br1- atom. The Hg–Hg bond length is 2.75 Å. There are one shorter (2.41 Å) and one longer (2.45 Å) Hg–O bond lengths. The Hg–Br bond length is 2.83 Å. In the third Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Hg+1.38+ and one Br1- atom. The Hg–Hg bond length is 3.12 Å. The Hg–Br bond length is 3.83 Å. In the fourth Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one O2- and two Br1- atoms. The Hg–O bond length is 3.07 Å. There are one shorter (3.17 Å) and one longer (3.42 Å) Hg–Br bond lengths. In the fifth Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Hg+1.38+, one O2-, and one Br1- atom. The Hg–O bond length is 3.04 Å. The Hg–Br bond length is 2.83 Å. In the sixth Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Hg+1.38+, one O2-, and one Br1- atom. The Hg–O bond length is 2.51 Å. The Hg–Br bond length is 3.52 Å. In the seventh Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Hg+1.38+ and two equivalent Br1- atoms. The Hg–Hg bond length is 2.64 Å. There are one shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Hg–Br bond lengths. In the eighth Hg+1.38+ site, Hg+1.38+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- and one Br1- atom. There are two shorter (2.31 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) Hg–O bond lengths. The Hg–Br bond length is 3.08 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Hg+1.38+ atoms to form corner-sharing OHg4 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Hg+1.38+ and one Br1- atom. The O–Br bond length is 1.78 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Hg+1.38+ and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.42 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Hg+1.38+ and one O2- atom. There are three inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Hg+1.38+ and one O2- atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to three Hg+1.38+ atoms. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Hg+1.38+ atoms.
