Catena-Poly[bis-(μ(3)-2-methyl-benzoato)disilver(I)].

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ag(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)](n), features polymeric chains extending along the a axis, with the two Ag(+) cations in a distorted trigonal coordination. The range of Ag-O bond lengths is 2.169 (2)-2.433 (2) Å, whereas the Ag⋯Ag separations are in the range 2.8674 (4)-3.6256 (5) Å. The 2-methyl-benzoate groups are oriented at a dihedral angle of 60.7 (1)° with respect to each other.
