In the title coordination polymer, [Hg(NCS)2(C4H5N3)], the HgII atom is four-coordinated by one aromatic N atom from a 2-aminopyrimidine ligand, one S atom from a terminal thiocyanate ligand, and one S atom and one N atom from a bridging thiocyanate ligand. The crystal structure features polymeric chains running along the b axis which are stabilized by N—HN hydrogen bonds.
