title: A new Ag complex based on 1-[(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole.
abstract: In the title complex, bis-{μ-1-[(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole}disilver(I) dinitrate, [Ag(2)(C(10)H(9)N(5))(2)](NO(3))(2), the Ag(I) ion is nearly linearly coordinated [N-Ag-N angle is 155.72 (14)°] by two 1-[(1H-benzimidazole-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole (bmt) ligands. In addition, two bmt ligands link two Ag(I) ions, forming a dinuclear unit with an Ag⋯Ag distance of 5.0179 (15) Å. The whole complex is generated by an inversion centre. The dinuclear units and the NO(3) (-) counter-ions are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak Ag⋯O inter-actions [2.831 (5), 2.887 (5) and 2.908 (5) Å], leading to a three-dimensional structure.
