Polymeric (3-amino-2-chloropyridine)nitratosilver(I).

In the title compound [alternative name: poly[silver(I)-micro-(3-amino-2-chloropyridine)-micro-nitrato]], [Ag(NO(3))(C(5)H(5)ClN(2))](n) the Ag(I) atom is in an irregular AgN(2)O(3) geometry, surrounded by one pyridyl N atom [Ag-N 2.283 (5) A], one amine N atom [Ag-N 2.364 (6) A] and three O atoms from different nitrate ions [Ag-O 2.510 (6)-2.707 (6) A]. The Ag ions are bridged by the 3-amino-2-chloropyridine ligands into helical chains. Adjacent uniform chiral chains are further interlinked through the NO(3) bridges into an interesting two-dimensional coordination network in the solid.
