Bis[µ-3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile-κN:N']bis-[perchloratosilver(I)].

In the title centrosymmetric complex, [Ag(2)(ClO(4))(2)(C(10)H(7)N(3))(2)], the unique Ag(I) ion is coordinated by an N atom from a carbonitrile group, an N atom from a symmetry-related pyrazole group and an O atom of a perchlorate ligand to form a distorted T-shaped environment. Two 3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile ligands each bridge two Ag(I) ions to form a dinuclear complex. In the crystal structure, there are weak Ag⋯O inter-actions within the range 2.70-3.01 Šlinking dimeric units into layers approximately parallel to (100). The O atoms of the perchlorate ligand are disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.570 (11) and 0.430 (11), respectively.

catena-Poly[[(2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phen-anthroline-κN,N')cadmium(II)]-di-µ-dicyan-amido-κN:N].

In the title polymer, [Cd(C(2)N(3))(2)(C(16)H(16)N(2)O(2))](n), the Cd(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecule and four N atoms from four symmetry-related dicyanamide ions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the 2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, the O and C atoms of the eth-oxy groups are located almost in the plane defined by the phenanthroline ring system. Two dicyanamide ions bridge two Cd(II) ions, which are located on a twofold axis, forming a one-dimensional zigzag chain along the [001] direction. The 2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecules act as bidentate terminal ligands. There are π-π inter-actions between polymeric chains, characterized by a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7624 (2) Šbetween the phenanthroline rings of two neighbouring chains.
