catena-Poly[2-methylpyridinium [tungstate-di-μ-selenido-silver-di-μ-selenido] 2-methylpyridine monosolvate]

Abstract

The title compound, {(C6H8N)[AgWSe4]·C6H7N}n, consists of anionic [WAgSe4]n chains, 2-methylpyridinium cations and neutral 2-methylpyridine molecules. The Se atoms bridge the Ag and W atoms, forming a polymeric chain extending along the b-axis direction. Both the Ag and W atoms are located on a twofold rotation axis and each metal atom is coordinated by four Se atoms in distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, the 2-methylpyridinium cation and 2-methylpyridine molecule are linked via N—H...N hydrogen bonding. Weak C—H...Se interactions link the organic components and polymeric anions into a three-dimensional architecture.
