Abstract
The crystal structure determination of the title complex, [Ag2(C7H5O2)2(C6H12N2)]n, reveals a slightly distorted T geometry for the AgI atom, coordinated by an N atom from a 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane ligand and two O atoms from two benzoate anions. The dibenzoatodisilver(I) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane units lie across crystallographic inversion centres. The carboxyl groups in the complex behave in a η1:η1:μ2 fashion, bridging adjacent Ag atoms to form one-dimensional chains.
