Abstract

In the title compound, [Ag(3)(C(8)H(6)N(3))(3)], the asymmetric unit contains three silver cations and three depronated 5-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazol-1-ide ligands. Each silver cation is chelated by one 5-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazol-1-ide ligand, which also acts as a bridging ligand towards the next silver ion via the second pyrazole N atom. In summary, three silver cations and three deprotonated 3-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H-pyrazole ligands produce a macrocyclic trimeric coordination oligomer that exhibits an almost planar conformation (mean deviation 0.1483 Å). In addition, short non-bonding Ag⋯Ag inter-actions [3.127 (2) Å] are observed.
