Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione-κ2N,N′)silver(I) tetrafluoridoborate

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [Ag(C12H6N2O2)2]BF4 or [AgL 2]BF4 (L = phendione), the Ag and B atoms are located on twofold rotation axes. The dihedral angle between the two phendione ligands is 36.7 (2)°. The coordination about the AgI center is distorted tetra­hedral (τ4 = 0.546). The crystal structure is consolidated by weak C—H⋯O(phendione) and C—H⋯F(BF4 −) inter­actions. The BF4 − counter-anion is strongly disordered and was modelled with two sets of idealized F atoms.
