Bis(acridine-N)(nitrato-O,O')silver(I).

The title complex, [Ag(NO(3))(C(13)H(9)N)(2)], is the first complex of silver and acridine to be reported. The silver coordination is distorted trigonal. The N-Ag-N angle involving the N atoms of the acridine ligands is 145.84 (6) degrees. The nitrate ion coordinates to silver as an asymmetrically chelating bidentate ligand. The crystal structure consists of neutral complex molecules linked into chains by means of attractive pi-pi interactions among the parallel acridine ligands.
