Comment top

The compound, [Ag3(C8H6N3)3]2.2py, (II), (where py is pyridine), first synthesized and characterized by X-ray structure analysis at 295 K (Singh et al., 1997). It was obtained by the reaction of Ag(O3SCF3) with deprotonated 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole in methanol. The title complex, [Ag3(C8H6N3)3]2, (I), is obtained by the reaction of AgNO3 with 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole in water, under hydrothermal conditions. We herein report its crystal structure.

The asymmetric unit of (I) contains one half molecule (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The Ag2···Ag3 [3.1144 (6) Å] distance is shorter than the corresponding one [3.227 (2) Å] in (II). In the molecule of (I), the silver atoms form two nearly equilateral triangles with Ag1···Ag3A [3.725 (3) Å], Ag1···Ag2 [3.741 (3) Å] and Ag2···Ag3A [3.843 (2) Å] (symmetry code A: -x, 1 - y, -z) distances, they are reported as 3.655, 3.702 and 3.835 Å, respectively, in (II).

Experimental top

The title complex was obtained by the reaction of AgNO3 with 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole in the molar ratio of 1:1 mixed with water (15 ml), under hydrothermal conditions at 413 K for 2 d. The colorless crystals were washed by water and acetone, and dried in air (yield: 0.452 g, 50%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
