title: Bis[μ-3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile-κN:N']bis-[perchloratosilver(I)].
abstract: In the title centrosymmetric complex, [Ag(2)(ClO(4))(2)(C(10)H(7)N(3))(2)], the unique Ag(I) ion is coordinated by an N atom from a carbonitrile group, an N atom from a symmetry-related pyrazole group and an O atom of a perchlorate ligand to form a distorted T-shaped environment. Two 3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile ligands each bridge two Ag(I) ions to form a dinuclear complex. In the crystal structure, there are weak Ag⋯O inter-actions within the range 2.70-3.01 Å linking dimeric units into layers approximately parallel to (100). The O atoms of the perchlorate ligand are disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.570 (11) and 0.430 (11), respectively.
