Materials Data on HgF by Materials Project
HgF crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two HgF sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Hg1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.17 Å) and four longer (2.82 Å) Hg–F bond lengths. F1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg1+ atoms.
