title: Ammonium diamminesilver(I) bis-(5-chloro-2-hy-droxy-benzene-sulfonate) trihydrate.
abstract: The reaction of silver nitrate with 5-chloro-2-hy-droxy-benzene-sulfonic acid in the presence of ammonia yielded the title salt, (NH(4))[Ag(NH(3))(2)](C(6)H(4)ClO(4)S)(2)·3H(2)O. The Ag(I) ion shows linear coordination [N-Ag-N = 175.2 (1) °]. The ammonium and diamminesilver cations, the benzene-sulfonate anion and the lattice water mol-ecules inter-act through an intricate network of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.
