title: catena-Poly[[silver(I)-μ-[N-(4-pyridyl-meth-yl)pyridine-4-carboxamide-κN:N']] nitrate monohydrate].
abstract: The title coordination polymer, {[Ag(C(12)H(11)N(3)O)]NO(3)·H(2)O}(n), has a polycationic chain motif in which the Ag atom is bridged by the heterocyclic ligand; the Ag atom shows linear coordination. If the two long Ag⋯O(nitrate) inter-actions [2.794 (6) and 2.867 (5) Å] are regarded as bonds, the compound adopts a three-dimensional network structure. The water mol-ecule consolidates the network structure by forming hydrogen bonds, one to the polycationic chain and one to the nitrate anion.
