Bis(2‐amino­pyridine‐κN1)(benzoato‐κO)silver(I)

In the title compound, [Ag(C₇H₅O₂)(C₅H₆N₂)₂], the Ag^I atom is tricoordinated by two independent pyridine N atoms and one benzoate O atom in a nearly planar geometry. An intramolecular N—H⃛O hydrogen bond forms an S(8) graph ring. The packing is built from molecular layers stabilized by two types of N—H⃛O hydrogen bond. Intermolecular Ag⃛N and intramolecular Ag⃛O contacts were also observed, together with three weak intermolecular C—H⃛π interactions.
