Bis{μ-2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)aminomethyl]phenolato}-κ²N¹:O;κ²O:N¹-bis({2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl-κN)aminomethyl]phenol}silver(I)) dihydrate

Abstract

The AgI atom in the title centrosymmetric dinuclear compound, [Ag2(C11H10N3O)2(C11H11N3O)2]·2H2O, shows a T-shaped coordination arising from bonding to the N atom of a neutral 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino­meth­yl]phenol ligand, the N atom of the 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino­meth­yl]phenolate anion [N—Ag—N = 171.8 (1)°] and the terminal O atom of the other anion [Ag—O = 2.606 (3) Å]. A pair of 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino­meth­yl]phenolate anions link the two AgI atoms to form the dinuclear compound. In the crystal, adjacent dinuclear mol­ecules are linked to the lattice water mol­ecules, generating an O—H⋯O- and N—H⋯O-connected three-dimensional network. In the crystal, the hy­droxy H atom is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio; one half-occupancy H atom is connected to one hy­droxy group, whereas the other half-occupancy H atom is connected to another hy­droxy group.
