The title compound, bis(2-phenyldiazenyl-1H-imidazole-N)silver(I) nitrate m
ethanol solvate, [Ag(C9H8N4)(2)]NO3. CH3OH, is a monomeric complex linearly
coordinated by two N atoms from two different imidazole rings, with Ag-N b
ond distances of 2.138 (3) and 2.147 (3) Angstrom, and an N-Ag-N bond angle
of 174.9(1)degrees. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intramolecul
ar N-H ... O and O-H ... O hydrogen bonds and an intermolecular N-H ... O h
ydrogen bond involving the nitrate anion and the methanol solvent.
