The title complex, [Ag(C7H4NO3S)(C10H8N2)], has a mononuclear structure in which the AgI ion is coordinated by two N atoms from 2,2'-bipyridine and one N atom from saccharinate, forming a distorted T-shaped (or trigonal-planar) AgN3 arrangement. The bite angle of bpy is 71.69 (6)°, which contributes significantly to the distortion of the coordination geometry. Molecules are connected by C-H
O and
(bpy)-
(bpy) interactions with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.6741 (13) Å.
Na(sac)·2H2O (0.24 g, 1 mmol) was added to a 320 ml solution of AgNO3 (0.17 g, 1 mmol) dissolved in a mixture of water, methanol and dichloromethane (1:1:1, v/v) with stirring. The solution immediately became milky and the addition of bpy (0.16 g, 1 mmol) to the milky suspension resulted in a clear solution. The resulting solution was stirred for 30 min at room temperature and was allowed to stand in darkness at room temperature. Colorless crystals of the title compound were obtained after a week.
All hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized locations and refined by riding, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 x Ueq(C).

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 > 2sigma(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. |

Saccharin is a well known artificial sweetener and it readily coordinates metal ions in the deprotonated form, saccharinate (sac) (Baran & Yilmaz 2006). The first silver(I) complexes of sac were reported by Weber et al. (1993) and Yilmaz et al. (2004). In this paper, the structure of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), containing a 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) molecule and a sac anion is described.
In (I), Ag(I)I ion is coordinated by two N atoms from 2,2'-bipyridine and one N atom from saccharinate, forming a highly distorted T-shaped (or trigonal planar) coordination geometry (Table 1). The small bite angle of bpy [71.69 (6)°] is responsible for the distortion of the coordination geometry similar to that of a silver(I) complex of bpy (Liu et al., 2006). Both ligands are essentially planar and the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings of the bipy ligand is only 2.48 (11)°, while the dihedral angle between the sac benzene ring and sac 5-membered ring is 0.50 (8)°. The sac ion makes a dihedral angle of 7.20 (8)° with the complete bipy molecule.
The closest Ag···Agi contact is 4.0838 (3)Å (i = 1 − x, 2 − y, −z). There are two intramolecular CH···O hydrogen bonds involving the sac and bpy ring H atoms and sulfonly and carbony O atoms (Table 2). Furthermore, the molecules are further linked by π(bpy)···π(bpy) interactions with a Cg—Cgi separation of 3.6741 (13)Å (i = 1 − x, 1 − y, −z).
