metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Ag(C3H5OS2)]n, is polymeric in the solid state and adopts a layered structure in which each Ag atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry defined by four S atoms belonging to four different xanthate groups and by a neigbouring Ag atom [Ag
Ag = 3.0540 (8) Å]. Each S atom is three-coordinated to one C and two Ag atoms. The structure can be envisaged as being formed by Ag2(S2COEt)2 units in which every S atom is bonded to another Ag atom from a different unit and the Ag atoms are also bonded to two different S atoms of two other units. The result is a two-dimensional network of condensed metallacycles of six or eight atoms.
