Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title structure, {[Ag(C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₂)(C₄H₂O₄)_0.5]·H₂O}_n, contains one Ag^I cation, one 1,4-bis(3-pyridylmethoxy)benzene (L) ligand, half of a fumarate ligand and one solvent water molecule. The Ag^I ion is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Each L ligand bridges two symmetry-related Ag^I cations to form extended one-dimensional chains, which are, in turn, bridged by fumarate ligands to create chains of rings. The solvent water molecules donate hydrogen bonds to the carboxylate O atoms of fumarate ligands, generating a two-dimensional supramolecular structure.
