title: AgI and CuI binuclear macrocyclic complexes with 1-(3-pyridyl)ethanone oxime.
abstract: Bis[micro-1-(3-pyridyl)ethanone oxime-kappa(2)N:N']bis[nitratosilver(I)], [Ag(2)(NO(3))(2)(C(7)H(8)N(2)O)(2)], crystallizes as a centrosymmetric binuclear macrocylic complex containing silver(I) ions bridged by the organic 1-(3-pyridyl)ethanone oxime ligand. The ligand coordinates via the pyridine and the oxime N atoms. A similar metal-ligand arrangement was found in the copper(I) complex catena-poly[[bis[micro-1-(3-pyridyl)ethanone oxime-kappa(2)N:N']dicopper(I)]-di-micro-iodo], [Cu(2)I(2)(C(7)H(8)N(2)O)(2)](n), but here the centrosymmetric macrocycles are connected by double anion bridges, resulting in the formation of a one-dimensional coordination polymer.
