Bis[N-(4-chlorophenyl)pyridine-3-carboxamide]silver(I) nitrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ag(C12H9ClN2O)2]NO3, two N atoms from two pyridine rings of two N-(4-chlorophenyl)pyridine-3-carboxamide ligands coordinate to the AgI atom, forming a nearly linear geometry with an N—Ag—N angle of 173.41 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5469 (16) Å] between the pyridyl and benzene rings. The shortest Ag...Ag distance is 3.2574 (5) Å.
