Catena-Poly[[[N'-(4-cyano-benzyl-idene)nicotinohydrazide)silver(I)]-μ-N'-(4-cyano-benzyl-idene)nicotinohydrazide] hexa-fluorido-phosphate].

ABSTRACT: In the title polymer, {[Ag(C(14)H(10)N(4)O)(2)]PF(6)}(n), each Ag(I) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two pyridyl rings of independent N'-(4-cyano-benzyl-idene)nicotinohydrazide ligands, and one N atom from one carbonitrile group of a symmetry-related ligand in a distorted T-shaped geometry. The ligands exhibit two modes of coordination. One acts as a bridge connecting Ag atoms to form one-dimensional chains along [01]. The other acts as a terminal monodentate ligand, coordinating to Ag through its pyridyl N atom. Two neighbouring anti-parallel chains in the crystal are connected through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Other adjacent chains are packed via Ag⋯O inter-actions, with Ag⋯O separations of 2.876 (2) Å. In addition, PF(6) (-) counter-anions inter-act with the hydrazone groups through
