AgI and CuI binuclear macrocyclic complexes with 1‐(3‐pyridyl)­ethano­ne oxime

Bis­[μ‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)­ethanone oxime‐κ²N:N′]­bis­[nitrato­sil­ver(I)], [Ag₂(NO₃)₂(C₇H₈N₂O)₂], crystallizes as a centrosymmetric binuclear macrocylic complex containing silver(I) ions bridged by the organic 1‐(3‐pyridyl)­ethanone oxime ligand. The ligand coordinates via the pyridine and the oxime N atoms. A similar metal–ligand arrangement was found in the copper(I) complex catena‐poly­[[bis­[μ‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)­ethano­ne oxime‐κ²N:N′]­dicopper(I)]‐di‐μ‐iodo], [Cu₂I₂(C₇H₈N₂O)₂]_n, but here the centrosymmetric macrocycles are connected by double anion bridges, resulting in the formation of a one‐dimensional coordination polymer.
