Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, [HgI2(C12H12N2)], the HgII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and by two I atoms. There is a - contact between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.775 (6) Å].
