Materials Data on HgBr3 by Materials Project
HgBr3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two HgBr3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Hg is bonded to six equivalent Br atoms to form distorted face-sharing HgBr6 pentagonal pyramids. All Hg–Br bond lengths are 2.86 Å. Br is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms.
