Abstract: The title Ag^I coordination polymer, [Ag(C₁₅H₁₄NS₂)]_n, was synthesized by a solvothermal reaction of AgNO₃ with sodium N,N-dibenzyldithiocarbamate in a methanol solution. The compound displays a helical structure and each Ag^I ion is four-coordinated by four S atoms from two dithiocarbamate ligands and can be described as a distorted tetrahedral configuration. While the Ag^I ions are bridged by both S atoms of the dithocarbamate group to form the polymeric structure, the AgAg distance of 3.0633 (11) Å suggests weaker metal bonding between Ag^I ions.
