Abstract: The crystal structure determination of the title complex, [Ag₂(C₇H₅O₂)₂(C₆H₁₂N₂)]_n, reveals a slightly distorted T geometry for the Ag^I atom, coordinated by an N atom from a 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane ligand and two O atoms from two benzoate anions. The dibenzoatodisilver(I) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane units lie across crystallographic inversion centres. The carboxyl groups in the complex behave in a ¹:¹:₂ fashion, bridging adjacent Ag atoms to form one-dimensional chains.
