The coordination polymer poly[(μ3‐3‐aminocarbonylpyrazine‐2‐carboxylato‐κ3N1:O2:O2′)silver(I)]

The title compound, [Ag(C₆H₄N₃O₃)]_n or [Ag(pyzca)]_n (where pyzca is 3‐aminocarbonylpyrazine‐2‐carboxylate), (I), was obtained by silver‐catalysed partial hydrolysis of pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarbonitrile in aqueous solution. The compound has a distorted trigonal–planar coordination geometry around the Ag^I ion, with each ligand bridging three Ag^I ions to form a one‐dimensional strand of molecules parallel to the b axis. An extensive hydrogen‐bond pattern connects these strands to form a three‐dimensional network of mog topology.
