Abstract

A new polymeric silver(I) complex of imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt), {[Ag2(Imt)3](NO3)2}n (1) was prepared and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The silver atoms form infinite chains with two Ag - S(Imt) - Ag strands linked to each other by sulfur atoms of μ4-Imt ligands. Each silver(I) ion is bound to four sulfur atoms of bridging Imt ligands in a distorted tetrahedral environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding and weak argentophilic interactions. The hydrogen bonded nitrate ions connect the 1D chains to generate a 2D layer structure.
