Bis(2-aminopyridine-kappaN(1))(benzoato-kappaO)silver(I).

In the title compound, [Ag(C(7)H(5)O(2))(C(5)H(6)N(2))(2)], the Ag(I) atom is tricoordinated by two independent pyridine N atoms and one benzoate O atom in a nearly planar geometry. An intramolecular N-H.O hydrogen bond forms an S(8) graph ring. The packing is built from molecular layers stabilized by two types of N-H.O hydrogen bond. Intermolecular Ag.N and intramolecular Ag.O contacts were also observed, together with three weak intermolecular C-H.pi interactions.
