Bis(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine-κN1)silver(I) nitrate

Journal article, 2009

The title compound, [Ag(C3H6N6)2]NO3, has an alternating two-dimensional bilayer structure supported by extensive hydrogen bonds. The [Ag(melamine)2]+ cationic monomers (melamine is 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine) are connected via N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional sheets. Nitrate groups are sandwiched between two sheets through N—H...O hydrogen bonds. An almost perfectly linear coordination geometry is found for the AgI ions. The triazine ligands are slightly distorted due to π–π interactions.
