The previously-described bis(thiosalicylato)mercury(II) complex [Hg(SC6H4-2-CO2H)2],prepared from HgCl2 and thiosalicylic acid (HSC6H4-2-CO2H) with added NaOH, dissolves in pyridine (py), from which the crystalline pyridinium salt (pyH)2[Hg(SC6H4-2-CO2)2] can be isolated as large colourless blocks....
