In the title centrosymmetric binuclear AgI complex, [Ag2(C12H10N4)2](ClO4)2, each AgI center is two-coordinated by one pyridine and one benzotriazole N-donor atom of two inversion-related 1-(2-pyridylmethyl)-1H-benzotriazole (L) ligands. This forms a unique box-like cyclic dimer with an intramolecular Ag⋯Ag separation of 4.479 (2) Å. Intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions, involving uncoordinated ClO4
− ions, link the binuclear units, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (10).
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.
