The reaction of di-2-pyridyl sulfide with silver nitrate produces a centrosymmetric binuclear complex, bis(di-2-pyridyl sulfide-N,N':S)bis(nitrato-O)-disilver(I) ethanol solvate, [Ag2(C10H8N2S)2(NO3)2].C2H5OH, within which each Ag atom is coordinated to a monodentate nitrate, an S atom of one ligand and two N atoms of a second ligand. Topologically, this represents the first coordination analogue of the well known photodimers of anthracene.
