Bis(2-amino­pyridine-κ N1)silver(I) perchlorate.

The title compound, [Ag(C5H6N2)2]ClO4, is a mononuclear silver(I) complex. The Ag atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is bicoordinated in a distorted linear configuration by two N atoms from two symmetry-related 2-amino­pyridine ligands. The perchlorate ion is disordered across a crystallographic mirror plane. The cations and anions are arranged as alternating layers along the a axis and are interlinked by weak N—H⋯O interactions in addition to the electrostatic interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
