Abstract: Reexamination of crystal structure of five-mercury anticrown [(CF₃)₂CHg]₅ revealed that instead of the previous definition as a co-crystal of this anticrown with water and pyridine {[(CF₃)₂CHg]₅}·2 Py·2H₂O, the compound actually represented its bipyramidal dichloride complex, (PyH)₂{[(CF₃)₂CHg]₅}Cl₂. Treating it with lead(II) benzoate gave pyramidal monochloride complex (PyH){[(CF₃)₂CHg]₅}Cl.

Keywords: anti-Werner complexes, anticrown, mercury, organofluorine compounds, chlorine, lead.
