Abstract

The central Ag^I atom of the title salt, [Ag(INAM)₂](CF₃SO₃)·2CH₃CN, where INAM is isonicotinamide (C₆H₆N₂O), is twofold coordinated by the pyridine N atoms of two isonicotinamide ligands creating a slightly distorted linear mol-ecular geometry. The formation of polymeric chains {[Ag(INAM)₂]⁺} _n , held together by discrete hydrogen bonds through the amide group of the INAM ligand leaves voids for non-coordinating aceto-nitrile mol-ecules that inter-act the silver metal center via regium bonds.

Keywords: acetonitrile; crystal structure; isonicotinamide; polymeric structure; silver atom; trifluoromethanesulfonate ions.
