Bis[μ-N-(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)pyridin-3-amine-κ(2) N:N']disilver(I) bis-(perchlorate) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the binuclear title compound, [Ag2(C11H11N3)2](ClO4)2·2C2H6SO, the complex cation is centrosymmetric, with the unique Ag(I) cation coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two symmetry-related N-(pyridine-2-ylmeth-yl)pyridine-3-amine ligands in a geometry slightly distorted from linear [N-Ag-N = 170.78 (9)°], resulting in the formation of a 16-membered cyclic dimer. The two pyridine rings coordinating to the Ag(I) atom are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 87.73 (10)°]. Inter-molecular Ag⋯O inter-actions [3.149 (3) and 2.686 (3) Å], N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions between the cyclic dimers and the anions or the solvent mol-ecules lead to the formation of a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
