The reaction of 4-amino-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3(2 H)-thione-5-one (AMTTO)
with silver(I) nitrate :in methanol gives the complex [Ag(AMTTO)(2)]NO3 (1
). 1 was characterized by IR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and by an X-ray stru
cture analysis [space group C2/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at -80 degrees
C: a = 1306.7(2), b = 1139.0(2), c = 1089.2(1) pm, beta = 94.54(1)degrees,
R-1 = 0.0294]. The cation possesses a highly distorted linear coordination
sphere in the solid state.
