Abstract: In the title centrosymmetric complex, [Ag₂(ClO₄)₂(C₁₀H₇N₃)₂], the unique Ag^I ion is coordinated by an N atom from a carbonitrile group, an N atom from a symmetry-related pyrazole group and an O atom of a perchlorate ligand to form a distorted T-shaped environment. Two 3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile ligands each bridge two Ag^I ions to form a dinuclear complex. In the crystal structure, there are weak AgO interactions within the range 2.70-3.01 Å linking dimeric units into layers approximately parallel to (100). The O atoms of the perchlorate ligand are disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.570 (11) and 0.430 (11), respectively.
