Abstract

The title complex, [Ag(C(5)H(4)NO)(C(5)H(5)NO)](n), consists of a polymeric neutral chain involving both a neutral pyridin-4-ol ligand and a deprotonated pyridin-4-olate monoanion. The Ag(I) atom shows a T-shaped coordination geometry, defined by one N atom of the pyridin-4-ol and one O and one N atom of two independent pyridin-4-olate bridges; the N-Ag-N moiety is approximately linear. The polymeric chains are connected via strong O-H...O hydrogen bonds and offset pi-pi interactions into a three-dimensional network.
