Bis(mu-2-cyanopyridine-N:N')bis[(2-cyanopyridine-N)silver(I)] bis(tetrafluoroborate): an anion-linked molecular ladder.
In the title compound, [Ag(2)(C(6)H(4)N(2))(4)](BF(4))(2), the Ag(I) cations adopt distorted trigonal-planar coordination geometries. The Ag(I) centres are linked via two bridging 2-cyanopyridine ligands to give a centrosymmetric dinuclear complex in which the Ag(I) coordination environment is completed by monodentate non-bridging 2-cyanopyridine ligands. Bridging Ag...F(BF(2))F...Ag interactions link the dinuclear cations into molecular ladders.
