The AgI 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 [AgO = 2.701 (4) and 2.810 (5) Å]. Adjacent chains are linked into a three-dimensional network by O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonds.
