title: Bis{μ-2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino-meth-yl]phenolato}-κ(2) N (1):O;κ(2) O:N (1)-bis-({2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl-κN)amino-meth-yl]phenol}silver(I)) dihydrate.
abstract: The Ag(I) atom in the title centrosymmetric dinuclear compound, [Ag2(C11H10N3O)2(C11H11N3O)2]·2H2O, shows a T-shaped coordination arising from bonding to the N atom of a neutral 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino-meth-yl]phenol ligand, the N atom of the 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino-meth-yl]phenolate anion [N-Ag-N = 171.8 (1)°] and the terminal O atom of the other anion [Ag-O = 2.606 (3) Å]. A pair of 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino-meth-yl]phenolate anions link the two Ag(I) atoms to form the dinuclear compound. In the crystal, adjacent dinuclear mol-ecules are linked to the lattice water mol-ecules, generating an O-H⋯O- and N-H⋯O-connected three-dimensional network. In the crystal, the hy-droxy H atom is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio; one half-occupancy H atom is connected to one hy-droxy group, whereas the other half-occupancy H atom is connected to another hy-droxy group.
