Abstract: The title compound, {[Ag(bpe)](OTf)}_n (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) or {[Ag(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)](CF₃O₃S)}_n, has been prepared from the reaction of 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe) and Ag(CF₃SO₃) in MeCN/H₂O. The Ag^I atom is two-coordinate in a slightly distorted linear arrangement, and the bpe ligands link the Ag^I atoms, in an anti fashion, into a one-dimensional linear chain of alternating Ag^I and bpe.
