%X A series of dimercury(1) complexes of the type [Hg2L2] [ClO4]2 has been prepared with heterocyclic nitrogen donor ligands. Complexes with 2-ethylpyridine and 4-benzylpyridine were of the form [Hg2L3.7] [ClO4]2 and [Hg2L4] [ClO4]2 respectively. The formation of a stable complex is found to be dependent on the effective base strength of the ligand.
