In this study, nine mercuryIJII) complexes of the composition [HgIJLn)IJX)2] (X = Cl, Br and I, n =1–3), (L1 = 2-pyridine piconyl hydrazone); L2 = (2-acetylpyridine piconyl hydrazone) and L3 = (2-phenylpyridine piconyl hydrazone) are synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Single-crystal X-ray crystallogra- phy showed that the molecular complexes can aggregate into larger entities depending upon the anion coordinated to the metal centre. Moreover, Hirshfeld surface (HS) analyses were employed to gain addi- tional insight into interactions responsible for the packing of complexes 1–9. Quantitative examination of 2D fingerprint plots revealed, among others, the dominating participation of H⋯H and H⋯X interactions in the molecular packing. Moreover, C–H⋯X hydrogen bonds, π–π, and chelate-ring–π interactions are de- scribed and analysed by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations since they play an important role in the construction of three-dimensional supramolecular frameworks. The influence of the halide on the energetic features of the assemblies has been also studied.
