Abstract:
In the structure of the title compound, [Ag(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(2))(2)]BF(4) or [AgL(2)]BF(4) (L = phendione), the Ag and B atoms are located on twofold rotation axes. The dihedral angle between the two phendione ligands is 36.7 (2)°. The coordination about the Ag(I) center is distorted tetra-hedral (τ(4) = 0.546). The crystal structure is consolidated by weak C-H⋯O(phendione) and C-H⋯F(BF(4) (-)) inter-actions. The BF(4) (-) counter-anion is strongly disordered and was modelled with two sets of idealized F atoms.
