Bis[μ-3,3′-dimethyl-3,3′-methylenebis(2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole)]disilver(I)(Ag—Ag) dichloride hemihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ag2(C9H12N4)2]Cl2·0.5H2O, each AgI atom is coordinated by two C atoms of two heterocyclic carbene ligands, displaying a nearly linear geometry. The Ag—Ag separation is quite long, indicating a very weak metal–metal interaction.
