Abstract

In the title complex, [Ag2(C7H4NO4)2(C16H16S2)], each Ag(I) atom is trigonally coordinated by one S atom of a 2,11-dithia[3.3]paracyclophane (dtpcp) ligand, and by one N and one O atom of a 6-carboxypyridine-2-carboxylate ligand. Dtpcp acts as a bidentate ligand, bridging two inversion-related AgI atoms to give a dinuclear silver(I) compound. The dinuclear moieties are interconnected via O-H...O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional zigzag sheet. Two such sheets are interwoven via pi-pi interactions between pyridine rings, affording an interwoven bilayer network.
