Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Ag(C6H9N3O3)2]NO3, the Ag atom is bicoordinated in a distorted linear configuration by two 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole ligands through one of the N atoms. The dihedral angle between the two imidazole rings is 16.1 (2)°. The O atoms of the nitrate anion are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are 0.8 and 0.2. The ions are connected by C—H...O interactions, while two weak intramolecular C—H...O interactions producing an S(6) ring motif are observed. The nitrate anion is linked to the hydroxyl groups of two neighbouring cations by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The ions are packed into infinite chains along the [100] direction.
