Bis[(E)-N-(pyridin-3-yl-methyl-idene)hydroxyl-amine-κN(1)]silver(I) perchlorate.
Each of the ions in the title salt, [Ag(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)]ClO(4), is completed by the application of crystallographic twofold symmetry. The Ag(I) atom is coordinated by two pyridine N atoms in an almost linear fashion [N-Ag-N = 170.0 (2)°], with the T-shaped coordination geometry being completed by a weakly associated perchlorate-O atom. Supra-molecular zigzag chains along [100] mediated by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds [as parts of R(2) (2)(6) loops] feature in the crystal packing. The perchlorate O atoms are disordered over two sets of sites in a statistical ratio.
