Abstract: | The reaction of 2-nitro-(2-pyridylsulfanylmethyl)benzene L with silver nitrate produces a centrosymmetric binuclear complex bis(2-nitro-(2-pyridylsulfanylmethyl)benzene-N,S)-bis(nitrato-O,O)-disilver(Ⅰ), AgLNO3]2 1. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P1, with a = 7.383(3), b = 8.340(3), c = 12.003(4) A, a = 95.069(6), β = 93.498(5), γ = 102.734(6)°, C24H2oAg2N6-O10S2, Mr= 832.32, V= 715.6(4) A3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.931 g/cm3, F(000) = 412, μ = 1.581 mm-1, R=0.0351 and wR = 0.0749 Each silver atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by two O atoms from bidentate nitrate, one S atom from a ligand and one N atom from another ligand. Furthermore, AgAg interactions have been observed in the complex. |
