In the title compound, [HgCl2(C6H8N2)2], the two independent HgII cations are each located on a twofold rotation axis and coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two 2-amino-3-methylpyridine ligands and two Cl− anions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. An intramolecular N—HCl hydrogen bond occurs in each independent complex molecule. Intermolecular N—HCl hydrogen bonds occur in the crystal structure.

In the title compound, [Co(CH3COO)2(C6H8N2)2], the CoII ion is five-coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two 2-amino-3-methylpyridine ligands, two O atoms from one acetate ion and one O atom from another acetate ion in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The pyridine rings are nearly perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 84.49 (16)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by intramolecular and intermolecular N—HO hydrogen-bonding interactions.

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Hg2Cl4(C6H8N2)2], the HgII ion is four-coordinated by one pyridine N atom from a 2-amino-4-methylpyridine ligand, one terminal Cl atom and two bridging Cl atoms. A distorted tetrahedral geometry is formed around each HgII ion. The crystal packing is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular N—HCl hydrogen bonding. There are also π–π stacking interactions in the structure, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.594 (6) Å.
