Structure I consists of infinite chains of doubled polymeric chains joined by silver carboxylate dimers [[Ag₂(CF₃CO₂)₂(Et₂Pyz)₂]_∞. The coordination polyhedron of Ag⁺ is a distorted tetrahedron. The crystals of compound II are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 13.555(3), b = 13.991(3), c = 16.449(3) Å, V = 3119.5(11) ų, ρ_calcd = 1.725 g/cm³, Z = 8. Doubled polymeric chains with the Ag…Ag bond (3.16 Å) are also formed in structure II. Supramolecular layers are formed in the structure due to the weak π-π-stacking interaction between the aromatic groups of chains. The CF₃CO ₂ ^? anion is weakly bound to Ag⁺ (Ag-O_avg 2.790 Å).
