Catena-Poly[bis[silver(I)-μ-1,2-di-4-pyridylethane-κ2N:N′] fumarate nonahydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ag2(C12H12N2)2](C4H2O4)·9H2O, the N-heterocycle links adjacent Ag atoms into a polycationic chain; the Ag atom shows linear coordination. The Ag atom lies on a special position of \overline{1} site symmetry, the N-heterocycle about another special position of \overline{1} site symmetry, the dianion about a special position of 2 site symmetry and one water O atom on a special position of 222 site symmetry. The anion and solvent water mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded into a three-dimensional network.
