In the title compound, [Hg(C42H38N4O2)](PF6)2·2CH3CN, the HgII cation lies on a twofold axis which is also the inter­nal symmetry element of the complete cationic complex. The HgII cation is coordinated by two symmetry-related C(carbene) atoms [Hg—C = 2.058 (9) Å] in a nearly linear geometry, with a C—Hg—C angle of 175.8 (5)°. There are weak inter­molecular C—H...F inter­actions in the crystal packing between an F atom of a hexa­fluoridophosphate anion and a –CH2– group of the bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand.
