title: catena-Poly[bis-(μ(3)-2-methyl-3,5-dinitro-benzoato)disilver(I)].
abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Ag(2)(C(8)H(5)N(2)O(6))(2)](n), the silver ion is coordinated to three O atoms from three different anions in an approximate T-shape with one bond much longer than the other two. The polyhedral connectivity leads to [100] chains containing alternating centrosymmetric four-rings and eight-rings, with a short d(10)⋯d(10) Ag⋯Ag interaction [2.8846 (4) Å] across the latter. The nitro groups are oriented at dihedral angles of 21.2 (5) and 64.3 (3)° with respect to the aromatic ring of the ligand. A C-H⋯O inter-action occurs in the crystal.
