(2,2 '-bipyridine)saccharinatosilver(I)

Abstract

The title complex, [Ag(C7H4NO3S)(C10H8N2)], has a mononuclear structure in which the Ag-I ion is coordinated by two N atoms from 2,2 '-bipyridine and one N atom from saccharinate, forming a distorted T-shaped (or trigonal-planar) AgN3 arrangement. The bite angle of bpy is 71.69 (6)degrees, which contributes significantly to the distortion of the coordination geometry. Molecules are connected by C-H center dot center dot center dot O and pi(bpy)-pi(bpy) interactions with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.6741 (13) angstrom.
