In the title molecular salt, C12H12N4O22+·2ClO4, the complete cation is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N—H⋯O and N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework.

Comment top

Several Ag(I) complexes containg N,N'-bis(2-pyridyl)oxamide ligands have been prepared, which show one-dimensional and two-dimensional structures (Hsu, et al., 2004; Hu, et al., 2004). To investigate the effect of ligand-isomerism on the structural type of such complexes, the ligand N,N'-bis(4-pyridyl)oxamide was synthesized and reacted with AgClO4 in CH2Cl2. The reaction resulted unexpectedly in the perchlorate salt of the organic ligand. Within this project the crystal structure of the title compound was determined.

Experimental top

N,N'-bis(4-pyridyl)oxamide (0.24 g, 1.0 mmol) and AgClO4 (0.21 g, 1.0 mmol) were placed in a flask containing 10 ml CH2Cl2. The mixture was then reflux for 12 h. The resulting solution was then filtered and then layered with diethyl ether to afford coloress plate crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray crystallography.

Refinement top

All the hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized positions and refined using the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.93 — 0.96 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N).

Experimental. 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.

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.
