Abstract: In the title compound, [Ag(C₈H₁₀NO₃S)(C₁₀H₁₄N₄)], each Ag^I cation is three-coordinated by two N atoms from two different 1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)diimidazole ligands (bbi), and one sulfonate O atom from one 2-amino-3,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonate (L) anion in a distorted trigonal-planar geometry. Each bbi molecule acts as a bidentate ligand that binds two Ag^I atoms, thus forming a one-dimensional chain. The L anions are attached on both sides of the chain through Ag-O bonds. Finally, N-HO hydrogen bonds link the chains together, reinforcing the crystal cohesion.
