Crystal structure of Ag2(μ-SCN)2(NH3)4

Di-μ-thio­cyanato-bis­[diamminesilver(I)], [Ag2(μ-SCN)2(NH3)4], was synthesized by the reaction of AgSCN with anhydrous liquid ammonia. In the binuclear mol­ecule, the AgI atom is coordinated by two ammine ligands and the S atom of one thio­cyanate ligand. Two of these [Ag(SCN)(NH3)2] units are bridged by the S atoms of the thio­cyanate anions at longer distances, leading to a dimer with point group symmetry C2. The distance between the AgI atoms in the dimer is at 3.0927 (6) Å within the range of argentophilic inter­actions. The crystal structure displays N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen-bonding inter­actions that build up a three-dimensional network.
