INFLUENCE OF INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS ON COORDINATION GEOMETRY - CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF AG(DMP)NO3-CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O (DMP EQUALS 2,9-DIMETHYL-1,10-PHENANTHROLINE)

Non-bonded interactions stabilise a normal Ag(dmp)NO3 molecule and a h
ighly distorted [Ag-2(dmp)(2)NO3](+) in the crystal of Ag(dmp)NO3 . 2H
(2)O. The structure consists of two complex molecules, a mononuclear A
g(dmp)NO, and NO, bridged dinuclear cation [Ag-2(dmp)(2)NO3](+). The c
oordination around Ag in Ag(dmp)NO3 is of a regular 3+1 type while the
dinuclear cation has a highly distorted geometry. The ring-ring stack
ing, CH3-CH3 interactions and C-H ... O H-bonding stabilise the two co
mplex molecules. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
