Silver(I) complexes of 2‐(2‐amino­eth­yl)pyridine: nitrate and perchlorate salts of bis­[μ‐2‐(2‐amino­eth­yl)pyridine‐κ2N:N′]disilver(I)

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 Ag^I 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.
