Abstract:
The title compound, [(C6H14N2)[Ag(NCS)3]]n, is a polymeric silver(I) complex. The Ag(I) atom is hexacoordinated by the S atoms of six thiocyanate anions, with each thiocyanate S atom acting in a bridging mode to link the Ag atoms together. The unique Ag(I) atom lies at a cell origin and has crystallographically imposed 3 symmetry. The diazonia[2.2.2]octane molecule lies about a site with 6 imposed symmetry with the unique N atom on a threefold axis. The S and N atoms of the thiocyanate ligands sit on a mirror plane and a threefold axis, respectively. The crystal structure consists of one-dimensional chains, which are stabilized by N-H...N hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.
