(2-Amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-κN1)(2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine-κN1)silver(I) perchlorate

Colourless crystals of the title mixed ligand complex, [Ag(C5H7N3)(C6H9N3)]ClO4, were obtained from a solution of 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine, 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine and silver perchlorate in water and methanol. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions of the aromatic rings of the two ligands [interplanar distance = 3.652 (10) Å]. The AgI atom shows a linear coordination [N—Ag—N = 174.6 (1)°]
