Bis[-1,2-bis(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene-²N:N']disilver(I) bis(4-aminobenzenesulfonate) hexahydrate

H.-Y. Liu, H.-M. Sun and J.-F. Ma

Abstract: In the binuclear cation of the title compound, [Ag₂(C₁₄H₁₄N₄)₂](C₆H₆NO₃S)₂·6H₂O, two Ag^I atoms are bridged by two 1,2-bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene (IBI) ligands to form a 22-membered ring with crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry. Each Ag^I atom is two-coordinate, with a slightly distorted linear coordination geometry. The sulfonate anion does not coordinate to the silver ion but acts as a counteranion.
