Bis{1-[(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl-κN3]-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole}silver(I) nitrate

Abstract

In the title salt, [Ag(C9H8N6)2]NO3, the central AgI atom is linearly coordinated by the N atoms [171.97 (8)°] from two 1-[(benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole ligands. The benzimidazole rings in adjacent molecules are parallel with an average interplanar distance of 3.461 Å; adjacent molecules are linked through N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a linear chain along the b-axis direction.
