All reagents were of analytical grade and used without further purification. Pymim was prepared by the general procedure of Chiu et al. (2005). A solution of pymim (0.4 mmol, 64 mg) in MeOH (4 ml) was added to a stirring solution of AgNO3 (0.4 mmol, 68 mg) in MeOH (8 ml). The white precipitate that formed immediately was collected, washed with MeOH and dried. Colorless single crystals were grown from diffusion of dithyl ether into a DMF solution containing the silver complexes. Yield: 35%. Analysis found: C 33.01, H 2.79, N 16.93%.; calculated for Ag2(C9H9N3)2(NO3)2: C 32.85, H 2.76, N 17.03%.
C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
The synthesis and properties of self-assembled hybrid organic–inorganic macrocyclic or polymeric compounds involving suitably designed ligands and transition-metal ions have drawn an ever-increasing level of attention (Yue et al., 2005; Zheng et al., 2003). There has been much progress recently in the study of crystal engineering of supramolecular architectures using N-donor ligands (Telfer et al., 2006; Peng et al., 2006). The cation of the title compound, Ag2(pymim)2(NO3)2 is a fourteen-membered metallomacrocycle formed by the two Ag atoms bridging two pymim molecules. The asymmetric unit consists of one-half of the molecular cation and one nitrate anion. The full cation and the other nitrate anion are generated by the symmetry operation of a crystallographic inversion centre. As shown Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, The ligands are arranged in a head-to-tail fashion. The macrocycle lie on an inversion centre and the silver atoms are coordinated by a pyridine and a imidazole moiety. The Ag···Ag distance of 5.040 (6) Å is much longer than the sum of van der Waals radii of two Ag atoms (3.40 Å, Bondi, 1964) and can be regarded as noninteracting. Each pyridine ring is highly twisted from its trans imidazole ring with an interplanar angle of 74.55 (11)°. The overall geometry of the metallomacrocycle is slightly twisted with the N1—Ag1···Ag1A—N3 dihedral angle of 1.37 (3)°. The O atoms of nitrate anions are in close contact with the silver centers of two neighboring cations having nonbonding distances of 2.715 (3)–2.918 (3) Å, which are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii for the Ag and O atoms (3.24 Å, Bondi, 1964) and consistent with those reported for other silver nitrate complexes in the literature (Yue et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2005; Lin et al., 2004). These bridging nitrate interactions pull the silver centers in the metallomacrocyclic units away from each other resulting in very long Ag···Ag distance and a one-dimensional double-chain structure along the a axis.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

The synthesis and properties of self-assembled hybrid organic–inorganic macrocyclic or polymeric compounds involving suitably designed ligands and transition-metal ions have drawn an ever-increasing level of attention (Yue et al., 2005; Zheng et al., 2003). There has been much progress recently in the study of crystal engineering of supramolecular architectures using N-donor ligands (Telfer et al., 2006; Peng et al., 2006). The cation of the title compound, Ag2(pymim)2(NO3)2 is a fourteen-membered metallomacrocycle formed by the two Ag atoms bridging two pymim molecules. The asymmetric unit consists of one-half of the molecular cation and one nitrate anion. The full cation and the other nitrate anion are generated by the symmetry operation of a crystallographic inversion centre. As shown Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, The ligands are arranged in a head-to-tail fashion. The macrocycle lie on an inversion centre and the silver atoms are coordinated by a pyridine and a imidazole moiety. The Ag···Ag distance of 5.040 (6) Å is much longer than the sum of van der Waals radii of two Ag atoms (3.40 Å, Bondi, 1964) and can be regarded as noninteracting. Each pyridine ring is highly twisted from its trans imidazole ring with an interplanar angle of 74.55 (11)°. The overall geometry of the metallomacrocycle is slightly twisted with the N1—Ag1···Ag1A—N3 dihedral angle of 1.37 (3)°. The O atoms of nitrate anions are in close contact with the silver centers of two neighboring cations having nonbonding distances of 2.715 (3)–2.918 (3) Å, which are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii for the Ag and O atoms (3.24 Å, Bondi, 1964) and consistent with those reported for other silver nitrate complexes in the literature (Yue et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2005; Lin et al., 2004). These bridging nitrate interactions pull the silver centers in the metallomacrocyclic units away from each other resulting in very long Ag···Ag distance and a one-dimensional double-chain structure along the a axis.
