title: Bis(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-amine-κN)silver(I) nitrate acetone solvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Ag(C(7)H(6)N(2)S)(2)]NO(3)·C(3)H(6)O, the Ag(I) ion is coordinated to two benzothia-zol-2-amine ligands via the thia-zole N atoms in an approximately linear arrangement. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two 1,3-benzothia-zole groups is 5.9 (3)°. Both amine groups on the ligands are oriented in the same direction and are engaged in N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding with the nitrate counter-anion, forming one-dimensional columns along the b-axis direction. Voids created by inefficient crystal packing are occupied by acetone solvent mol-ecules which are disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.563 (11) and 0.437 (11).
