The synthesis and characterization of a novel dimeric N‐heterocyclic carbene ligated trimercury hexachloride adduct [(IPr)Hg 3 Cl 6 ] 2 [IPr = (HCNDipp) 2 C:; Dipp = 2,6‐ i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 ] is reported from the disproportionation reaction of IPr with mercury(I) chloride. The molecular structure of this species in the solid state represents a new bonding motif for a mercury halide.
