Abstract: | 2‐(2‐Aminoethyl)pyridine (2‐aep, C7H10N2) acts as a bridging ligand in bis[μ‐2‐(2‐aminoethyl)pyridine‐κ2N:N′]disilver(I) dinitrate, [Ag2(2‐aep)2](NO3)2, and bis[μ‐2‐(2‐aminoethyl)pyridine‐κ2N:N′]disilver(I) diperchlorate, [Ag2(2‐aep)2](ClO4)2. Both salts contain the dinuclear [Ag2(2‐aep)2]2+ cation, which possesses a crystallographic inversion center. The Ag⋯Ag distance is 3.1163 (5) Å for the nitrate and 3.0923 (3) Å for the perchlorate salt, and may indicate a weak d10–d10 interaction in each case. Essentially linear coordination of the AgI atom is perturbed by weak coordination to the anionic O atoms. These latter interactions organize the dinuclear cations into one‐dimensional polymeric chains in the crystals of the two salts. |
