Abstract: Bis[(2-pyridylmethyl)ammonio]silver(I) trinitrate, [Ag(C₆H₉N₂)₂](NO₃)₃, (I), and bis{bis[(4-pyridylmethyl)ammonio]silver(I)} hexakis(perchlorate) dihydrate, [Ag(C₆H₉N₂)₂]₂(ClO₄)₆·2H₂O, (II), are rare examples of complexes with cationic ligands. In (I), the Ag⁺ cation has a T-shaped [2+1] coordination involving the pyridine N atoms and a nitrate O atom, while in (II) there are three independent two-coordinate Ag complex cations (two with the Ag atoms on independent inversion centres) and disordered ClO₄^- ions. The crystal structures reveal the role of hydrogen bonding in stabilizing these complexes.

Formula: [Ag(C₆H₉N₂)₂](NO₃)₃ and [Ag(C₆H₉N₂)₂]₂(ClO₄)₆·2H₂O
