The ligand 5-(2-pyridyl)-2-cyanopyrazine was obtained commercially.The ligand (0.182 g, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of methanol, 2 ml, and acetonitrile, 2 ml was added to AgBF4 (0.194g, 0.1mmol), with constantly stirring. After four hours, the clear solution was filtered and kept in air for one week at room temperature to yield colorless rod-like crystals (274 mg, 72% yeild).
The hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized positions and allowed to ride on the relevant carbon atoms, with C— H = 0.93 Å and Uĩso~(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

During the past decades, coordination chemistry based on multidentate N-containing ligands has been widely developed and received intense interests (Peedikakkal et al., 2010). 2,2'-bipyridine is a popular member of the pyridine-based family and attracts a great of attentions because of the potential medicinal applications (Casini et al., 2006) and the fascinating framework structures (Li et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2009) of its divers metal complexes. Many 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives together with their various metal complexes have also been synthesized and well characterized (Berghian et al., 2005; Mathieu et al., 2001).
Herein, we present the structure of the new complex [Ag(C10H6N4)2]BF4 derived from 5-(2-pyridyl)-2-cyanopyrazine ligand, a similar ligand to the 2,2'-bipyridine featuring a 2-cyanopyrazinyl group at the 2-pyridyl carbon atom (Scheme 1). In the mononuclear title complex, the two ligands surrounding the center Ag(I) ion are in an anti-relationship and almost in the same plane, thus each of them chelates the Ag(I) ion through one 2-pyridyl N atom and one 4-pyrazinyl N atom, leading to a square planar N4- coordination geometry. As shown in Fig.1, the Ag1—N1(pyridyl) and Ag1—N3(pyridyl) bonds equal to 2.196 (2) and 2.203 (2) Å, respectively, which are considerably shorter than the other two Ag—N(pyrazinyl) bonds with the distances of 2.659 (2) Å (Ag1—N4) and 2.685 (2) Å (Ag1—N2), respectively. The longer Ag—N(pyrazinyl) distance is comparable to that in [Ag(dafone)2]NO3.H2O (dafone = 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one) (Biju et al., 2008). For the tetrafluoridoborate anions, each one links two neighbor [Ag(C10H6N4)2]+ cationic moieties arranged along the [110] direction through C—H···F (Denis et al., 2004) hydrogen bonding (C13···F2 3.015 (1) Å, C13—H13a···F2 120.8°; C11i···F4 3.132 (2) Å, C11i—H11ai···F4 137.2°, i x-1, y-1, z), forming an infinite tape structure (Fig. 2). The tape arrays are arranged along [110] direction in a shoulder to shoulder mode and stack along [-110] direction via π-π and F(BF4-)···π(pyrazinyl) interactions (Fig. 3). The close centroid(pyridyl)···centroid(pyridyl)distances are 3.820 (2) and 3.898 (1) Å, while that of centroid(pyrazinyl)···centroid(pyrazinyl) are 3.610 (2) and 3.926 (2) Å. For the anion-π interaction, F4(BF4-)···centroid(pyrazinyl) distance is 2.999 (3) Å, comparable to that 3.097 (1) Å found in Cu[(2-C4H3N2)2C(OH)2]2(BF4-)2 (Wan, et al., 2008).
