Bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-κN2)silver(I) hexafluoridoantimonate

Abstract

The title compound, [Ag(C5H8N2)2]SbF6, contains an Ag+ cation almost linearly bonded to two N atoms of dimethylpyrazole ligands [N—Ag—N = 176.54 (18)°]. The structure exhibits hydrogen bonding between the two dimethylpyrazole H atoms and two F atoms of one hexafluoridoantimonate anion. Three relatively short Ag...F contacts [2.869 (6), 2.920 (7), and 3.094 (7) Å] exist between the cation and three different SbF6− anions. The crystal used for data collection was found to be twinned by non-merohedry, with the two components being related by a 180° rotation around the real or reciprocal a axis. Integration resulted in 11.2% of the total peaks being assigned to component 1, 11.2% to component 2, and 77.6% to both components.
