Ammonium diamminesilver(I) bis­(5-chloro-2-hy­droxy­benzene­sulfonate) trihydrate

The reaction of silver nitrate with 5-chloro-2-hy­droxy­benzene­sulfonic acid in the presence of ammonia yielded the title salt, (NH₄)[Ag(NH₃)₂](C₆H₄ClO₄S)₂·3H₂O. The Ag^I ion shows linear coordination [N—Ag—N = 175.2 (1) °]. The ammonium and diamminesilver cations, the benzene­sulfonate anion and the lattice water mol­ecules inter­act through an intricate network of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.

The Ag^I atom in the polycationic salt, {[Ag(C₁₁H₁₁N₃O)]NO₃}_n, shows a linear coordination [N—Ag—N = 175.0 (2)°]; the polymeric nature arises from bridging by the pyrazine portion of the ligand, resulting in chains extending parallel to [100]. The NO₃⁻ counter-ions surround the polymeric chain and inter­act only weakly with it [Ag...O = 2.701 (4) and 2.810 (5) Å]. Adjacent chains are linked into a three-dimensional network by O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
