Structure

The structure of was determined in the 1960s before it was found in nature.It has crankshaft chains that are crosswise linked by additional Hg²+.The crystals are chiral (existing in two enantiomorphic forms), in space group I23 (no. 199). The chloride ions form a lattice similar to a primitive cubic lattice (but with the ions slightly displaced
