1-(2-hydroxyethyl)2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole) (0.350 g) [ALDRICH] was dissolved in 25 ml hot ethanol and silver nitrate [Sigma] (0.150 g) was dissolved in 20 ml ammonia solution in the molar ratio 2:1. These two solutions were mixed and heated under reflux for 48 h at a temperature of 363 K. Colourless plate shaped crystals were obtained after a month upon slow evaporation of the solvent.
After confirming their presence in the difference map, all H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.93 Å, CH3 = 0.96 Å CH2= 0.97Å and O—H = 0.86Å and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,O) and Uiso(H) = -1.5Ueq(methyl)]. The ratio of the occupancies for the major and minor components of the disordered nitro group O atoms were refined to 0.786 (3):0.214 (3). In the final refinement, this ratio was fixed at 0.8:0.2.

Geometry. Experimental. The low-temperature data was collected with the Oxford Crysosystem Cobra low-temperature attachement. 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. |

Nitroimidazole derivatives are of special interest due to their chemical and pharmacological properties. Nitroimidazoles are generally known as antiprotozoic and radiosensitizing drugs (Edwards, 1981). (1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole), known as metronidazole in pharmaceuticals, is a widely used antibacterial drug (Credito et al., 2000; Mendz & Megraud, 2002). The structure of the title compound (I) has been determined to examine the influence of the coordination of silver on the geometry of the heterocycle.
The structure consists of two 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole ligands coordinating to the silver through the N atoms in a distorted linear configuration, indicated by the N3—Ag1—N1 angle of 165.34 (4) °. The bond lengths of Ag1—N3 = 2.147 (11) Å and Ag1—N1 = 2.148 (11) Å, are comparable to the values reported for similar silver coordinated complexes (Tong & Chen, 2000; Ni et al., 2003; You & Zhu, 2004; Gao et al., 2004). The bond lengths of the heterocyclic five membered rings are comparable with the values found in 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole in its un-coordinated form (Blaton et al., 1979), iodometronidazole (Yang et al., 2005), and chlorometronidazole (Pi et al., 2005).
Both the hydroxyl oxygen atoms, O1 and O4, attached to the imidazole rings are twisted from the mean plane, with O1–C9–C8–N2 and O4–C11–C10–N4 torsion angles being -66.96 (14)° and -71.9 (14)° respectively. The nitro groups attached to the imidazole rings are slightly twisted, with O3—N5—C5—C4 and O6—N6—C2—C3 torsion angles of -10.8 (2)° and -13.3 (2)° respectively. Both imidazole rings are essentially planar, with the maximum deviation from planarity being 0.007 (1) Å for atom C1 and 0.003 (2) Å for atom N2. The nitrate anion is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.8:0.2. The molecules in the asymmetric unit are interconnected by C—H···O hydrogen bonds. Intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonding results in an S(6) a ring motif, while two oxygen atoms of the major component of the disordered nitrate anion form C—H···O interations with the cation, forming an R22(10) motif (Fig. 1). The nitrate ions are linked to the hydroxyl groups on neighbouring cations by O—H···O hydrogen bonds. The molecules are packed into infinite one dimensional chains along the [1 0 0] direction.
