Abstract:
In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ag(C(10)H(6)N(4))(2)(CF(3)CO(2))], there two mononuclear but slightly different complex units. In each, two κ(2)N:N-chelating 5-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile ligands surround the Ag(I) atom, giving an N(4)O square-pyramidal coordination geometry with one trifluoro-acetate O atom at the apex. The difference between the two lies in the Ag-N bond lengths: in one complex, three normal [range 2.272 (5)-2.552 (5) Å] and one long [2.706 (4) Å] and in the second, two normal [2.254 (5) and 2.290 (5) Å] and two long [2.647 (5) and 2.675 (5) Å] are present. Short inter-molecular F⋯F contacts [2.586 (4) Å] and weak π-π stacking inter-actions [minimum ring centroid separation 3.836 (5) Å] between pyridyl and pyrazinyl rings connect the complex units, forming columns which extend along the b-axis direction.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
