Les 6tapes ult6rieures correspondent ~ la d6gradation de la chaine carbon6e.Cette 6volution, qui confirme l'existence de deux types de mol6cules d'eau, est en bon accord avec le spectre de diffraction X de poudre en fonction de la temp6rature qui montre que, jusque 413 K, la structure n'est pas affect~e par la d6shydratation. Au-del~t de cette temperature, le spectre subit une premi6re modification accompagnant le d~part des molecules d'eau coordin6es. L'alt~ration de la cha~ne mol6culaire qui intervient vers 483 K se traduit par la formation d'une phase amorphe. Abstract. Silver(I) 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-l,4-dihydro-7-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate tetrahydrate,Ag[C 17H~gFN303].4H20, M r = 512.31, triclinic, P1, a=8.7146 (9), b=9.8853 (11), c= 13.8115(18)A, a=69.17(1), fl=67.54(1), ),= 84.69 (1) °, V = 1026.4 (2) A 3, D x = 1.658 Mg m -3, Z =2, 2(MoKal)=0.70926,/k, B=l.01mm -~, F(000) = 524, T= 297 K, final R =0.038 for 3130 observed reflections. Two silver atoms are joined in dimeric pairs by bridging coordinating carboxyl groups from two pefloxacin molecules. The terminal piperazinyl N atom from another pefloxacin molecule also coordinates to each Ag atom. The silver coordination is completed by an O atom from a water molecule and, possibly, a bond to the other silver atom (Ag-Ag = 2.901 A). Since both ends of the pefloxacin molecules are coordinated to silver, the dimeric silver pairs are linked into a chain extending through the crystal. The general features of the structure are strikingly similar to those of silver sulfadiazine, a well known burn treatment compound.
