Abstract: In the title compound, [Ag(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂]BF₄, the Ag^I atom is four-coordinated by two chelating bipyridine groups; thus the crystal structure presents a 2:1 ligand-to-metal ratio. The angles around the metal center describe a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with the Ag-N distances falling in the range of reported values. The pyridyl rings of the bipyridine ligands are essentially coplanar with small twisting angles between the corresponding mean planes.
