Poly[[μ2-acetato-aquadi-μ3-isonicotinato-erbium(III)silver(I)] perchlorate

Abstract

In the title three-dimensional heterometallic complex, {[AgEr(C6H4NO2)2(C2H3O2)(H2O)]ClO4}n, the eight-coordin­ate ErIII ion adopts a distorted bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry, being coordinated by four O atoms from four different isonicotinate ligands, three O atoms from two different acetate ligands and one O atom of the water mol­ecule. The two-coordinate AgI ion is surrounded by two N atoms from two different isonicotinate anions in a slightly bent configuration. These building blocks are connected by bridging isonicotinate and acetate ligands, generating a three-dimensional network. Ths structure is consolidated by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the coordinated water mol­ecule and a carboxyl­ate group of the acetate ligand. The perchlorate anion is disordered over two sites with site-occupancy factors of 0.526 (13) and 0.474 (13), while the methyl group of the acetate ligand is equally disordered over two sites.
