Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, [Ag(C₁₂H₆N₂O₂)₂]BF₄ or [AgL₂]BF₄ (L = phendione), the Ag and B atoms are located on twofold rotation axes. The dihedral angle between the two phendione ligands is 36.7 (2)°. The coordination about the Ag^I center is distorted tetrahedral (₄ = 0.546). The crystal structure is consolidated by weak C-HO(phendione) and C-HF(BF₄^-) interactions. The BF₄^- counter-anion is strongly disordered and was modelled with two sets of idealized F atoms.
