G. A. Broker and E. R. T. Tiekink

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ag₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)₂](CH₃SO₃)₂, comprises a dinuclear dication, with each Ag atom in an approximate T-shaped AgN₃ geometry, and two methylsulfonate anions. Weak connections between the ions are afforded by long (>2.6 Å) AgO contacts. The crystal structure comprises zigzag layers connected by - interactions [centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.667 (3) Å]. The layers are stabilized by C-HO interactions between the anions and cations as well as between anions.
