In the title coordination polymer, [Ag(C7H6NO2)(C6H12N4)(H2O)]n, the AgI ion is five-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from one 4-aminobenzoate anion (L), two N atoms from two different hexamethylenetetramine (hmt) ligands, and one water O atom in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The metal atom lies on a mirror plane and the L anion, hmt ligand and water molecule all lie across crystallographic mirror planes. Each hmt ligand bridges two neighboring AgI ions, resulting in the formation of a chain structure along the b axis. The chains are linked into a three-dimensional framework by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
