In the title polymeric complex, {[Ag(C11H11N3)]PF6}n, the AgI ion is two-coordinated in a nearly linear coordination geometry [N—Ag—N = 175.98 (9)°] by two pyridine N atoms from two symmetry-related N-[(pyridine-2-yl)methyl]pyridine-3-amine ligands. Each AgI ion is bridged by the ligands, forming a helical chain propagating along the b-axis direction. The right- and left-handed helical chains are alternately arranged via Ag⋯Ag [3.2639 (5) Å] and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.523 (1) Å], resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular network extending parallel to (101). Weak Ag⋯F interactions [longest Ag⋯F interaction = 3.153 (2) Å], as well as N—H⋯F and C—H⋯F hydrogen-bonding interactions, occur between the helical chains and the anions.

The ligand (N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)pyridine-3-amine) was prepared according to a procedure described by Lee et al. (2013). Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by vapor diffusion of diethyl ether into a DMSO solution of the white precipitate afforded by the reaction of the ligand with silver(I) hexafluorophosphate in the molar ratio 1:1 in methanol.

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. |

Metal-organic frameworks based on silver ions and dipyridyl type ligands have been of increasing interest in coordination chemistry owing to their intriguing architectures caused by the variety of coordination geometries of the Ag(I) ions (Lee et al., 2012; Leong & Vittal, 2011; Park et al., 2010). Recently, we have reported an investigation of Ag(I) coordination polymers using unsymmetrical dipyridyl ligands with nitrogen donor atoms in different positions on the two terminal pyridines (Moon & Park, 2013; Zhang et al., 2013). In extending this work, N-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)pyridine-3-amine as an unsymmetrical dipyridyl ligand was prepared by the reaction of 3-aminopyridine and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde according to a previously reported method (Lee et al., 2013). Herein we report the crystal structure of the title compound prepared by the reaction of silver hexafluorophosphate with the unsymmetrical dipyridyl ligand. The structure of the title compound is isostructural with that of the perchlorate salt (Zhang et al., 2013).
The title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit contains one AgI cation, one N-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)pyridine-3-amine (Lee et al., 2013) ligand and one PF6- anion. The Ag atom links two pyridine N atoms from two symmetry-related ligands to form a helical chain. Thus the Ag atom is two-coordinate in a slightly distorted linear coordination geometry [N–Ag–N = 175.98 (9)°]. The helical chain with a pitch length of 10.5081 (6) Å propagates along the b axis (Fig. 2). Right- and left-handed helical chains are alternately arranged via Ag···Ag [3.2639 (5) Å] and π–π stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.523 (1) Å] between pyridine rings of the helical chains, resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular network extending parallel to the (101) plane (Fig. 3).
The non-coordinating PF6- anions participate in Ag···F interactions (Ag1···F1 3.035 (2), Ag1···F3 3.041 (2), Ag1···F6iii 3.153 (2) Å, symmetry code: (iii) 1/2 + x, 1.5 - y, 1/2 + z) (Fig. 1,3). In addition,N–H···F and C–H···F hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 3) between the helical chains and anions are also found in the crystal.
