The title silver N-heterocyclic carbene compound, [Ag(C17H16N2)2]PF6, crystallizes as a mononuclear salt. The two imidazole rings, which are almost coplanar [maximum deviation from the least squares plane of 0.05 (2) Å], are linked by the Ag atom with a C-Ag-C angle of 178.60 (9)°. In the crystal, C-H
F hydrogen bonds, weak
-
interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.921 (1) and 3.813 (3) Å] and C-H
interactions lead to a supermolecular structure.
The title compound was prepared according to the reported procedures (Liu et al. 2003; Wang, Song et al. 2005). Colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by recrystallization from dichloromethane and diethyl ether.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å, and refined in the riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The discivery of first silver N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in 1993 by Arduengo (Arduengo et al., 1993) led to its rapid use in organometallic chemistry (Lin et al., 2009). silver NHCs can be used in various fields such as medical chemistry, Catalysis et al. (Nebioglu et al., 2007; Samantaray et al., 2007). Herein we report the crystal structure of the title silver NHC compound.
In the title compound, the silver(I) atom lies on a non-crystallographic twofold axis. The Ag—C bond lengths are close to literature values (Wang, Xu et al., 2005). The silver coordination geometry is almost linear with a C—Ag—C angle of 178.60 (9) °. The two five membered rings are almost co-planar with C9 showing the maximum deviation from the least squares plane of 0.05 Å. The silver atom is 0.07 Å out of this plane and the C11–C16 and C28–C33 rings make angles of 46.61 ° and 41.77 ° repectively with it.
In the crystal there are C—H···F hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions which contribute to supermolecular structure. (Fig. 2) The π–π interactions are between rings N3/C25/N4/C26/C27 and N1/C8/N2/C9/C10 and rings C11–C16 and C28–C33 with the ring centroids being separated by 3.921 Å and 3.813 Å, respectively. [symmetry code: 1-X,1/2+Y,1/2-Z and 1-X,-1/2+Y,1/2-Z.] In addition C—H···π interactions involving the imidazole and benzene rings are also observed.
