Abstract: In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Ag₂(C₃₆H₂₆N₈)₂](PF₆)₂·2C₂H₃N, the Ag⁺ ion is bound to four N atoms from two 1,2-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(di-2-pyridylmethyleneamino)ethane-1,2-diimine ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The ligand adopts a twist conformation, coordinating two metal centers by three pyridyl N atoms and one imine N atom and spanning two Ag⁺ ions, resulting in the formation of a helical dimeric structure.
