Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Silver(I) Complex

The reaction of 4-amino-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3(2 H)-thione-5-one (AMTTO) with silver(I) nitrate in methanol gives the complex Ag(AMTTO)₂]NO₃ ( 1 ). 1 was characterized by IR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and by an X-ray structure analysis space group C2/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1306.7(2), b = 1139.0(2), c = 1089.2(1) pm, β = 94.54(1)°, R₁ = 0.0294]. The cation possesses a highly distorted linear coordination sphere in the solid state.
