title: [μ-1,2-Bis(4-pyrid-yl)ethane-κN:N']bis-[(4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-κN,N',N'')silver(I)] bis-(trifluoro-methane-sulfonate).
abstract: In the title compound, [Ag(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(C(21)H(15)N(3))(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2), the Ag(I) atom is coordinated by three N atoms of one 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (phtpy) ligand and one pyridyl N atom of the 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane (bpe) ligand, displaying a distorted square-planar geometry. Two Ag(I) atoms are bridged by one trans-bpe ligand, generating a dinuclear cation. The dinuclear cation is located on a centre of inversion, which is in the middle of the ethyl-ene fragment of the bpe ligand. In the crystal, the pyridyl rings of neighboring dinuclear units are stacked by π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.667 (2) and 3.835 (2) Å. The F and O atoms of the CF(3)SO(3) (-) anions are involved in inter-molecular C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, respectively, with -CH groups from the phtpy ligands.
