Catena-Poly[[silver(I)-μ-N-(pyridin-3-ylmeth-yl)pyridine-2-amine-κ(2) N:N'] tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate].

ABSTRACT: In the asymmetric unit of the title polymeric complex, {[Ag(C11H11N3)](CF3SO3)} n , there are two Ag(I) atoms, two N-(pyridin-3-ylmeth-yl)pyridine-2-amine ligands (A and B) and two CF3SO3 (-) anions. One Ag(I) atom is coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two symmetry-related A ligands in a geometry slightly distorted from linear [N-Ag-N = 173.2 (3)°], forming a left-handed helical chain, while the other Ag(I) atom is coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two symmetry-related B ligands in a bent arrangement [N-Ag-N = 157.1 (3)°], forming a right-handed helical chain. Both helical chains have the same pitch length [10.4007 (7) Å], propagate along the b-axis direction and are alternately arranged via Ag⋯Ag [3.0897 (12) Å] and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.
