2N,N')nitratosilver(I)In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ag(NO3)(C14H12N2O2)], the AgI centre is three-coordinated by two N atoms from 2,9-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline and one O atom of the nitrate anion. The Ag-N bond lengths are almost identical, and O-Ag-N bond angles are larger than the bite angle N-Ag-N. In the main ligand, the O and C atoms of the methoxy groups lie almost in the plane defined by the phenanthroline ring system. Based on the extended delocalized
system of phenanthroline and the d10 electronic configuration of the metal centre, the title complex is expected to produce strong luminescent emission when properly excited.
The organic ligand 2,9-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline was prepared according to the literature procedure (Pijper et al., 1984). The slow evaporation of a mixture of the ligand (0.024 g, 0.1 mmol) and silver nitrate (0.017 g, 0.1 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) afforded colourless needles suitable for X-ray crystallography in about 7 days (yield: 40%).
C-bound H atoms in phenanthroline ring and methyl groups were placed at calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å and 0.96 Å, respectively), and they were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) values set at 1.2 times and 1.5 times Ueq(C), respectively. The final difference map had a highest peak at 0.93 Å from atom Ag1 and a deepest hole at 0.85 Å from atom Ag1, but was otherwise featureless.

2,9-Dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline and 2,9-diethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized at early time and they are known to possess antimycoplasmal activity in the presence of copper (Pijper et al., 1984). However, crystal structures of their coordination complexes with transition metal ions have not been reported so far.
The title compound, (I), is a mononuclear AgI complex of 2,9-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline (Fig.1). The Ag metal centre is three coordinated by two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ring and one O atom from the nitrate anion. The Ag—O bond length is 2.214 (4) Å, and the Ag—N bond lengths are 2.309 (3) and 2.316 (3) Å. The O—Ag—N bond angles are 142.80 (13) and 144.53 (13)°, which are larger than N—Ag—N angle. Intermolecular interactions corresponding to π–π stacking contacts between phenanthroline rings are observed in the crystal structure, with separations of ca. 3.5 Å. Regarding the main ligand, it remains almost planar, with the O and C atoms of methoxy groups deviating from the phenanthroline plane by about 0.03 and 0.18 Å, respectively.
Because the ligand 1,10-phenanthroline was reported to be used in the preparation of some potentially strong luminescent materials with d10 metals, it can be expected that the title complex also has strong luminescent properties (Majumder et al., 2006; Bie et al., 2006).
