Bis[2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl-κN)-1H-imidazol-3-ium]silver(I) trinitrate
Abstract:
The synthesis of the title salt, [Ag(C(6)H(7)N(4))(2)](NO(3))(3), was carried out employing a 1:2 molar ratio of 2,2'-biimidazole and silver nitrate respectively. The cation has crystallographically-imposed C2 symmetry with the metal atom in an almost linear coordination environment [N-Ag-N = 177.01 (17)°]. The crystal structure displays N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
