Six novel 1 : 2 complexes of silver(I) nitrate with 2,5-, 2,6- and 3,5-dihalopyridines (halo stands for chlorine and bromine) were prepared by the reaction of an aqueous solution of AgNO3 and the corresponding pyridine derivative in a water–alcohol solution. In spite of having analogous empirical formulae, they reveal intriguing structural differences, except [Ag(NO3)(2,5-Cl2py)2]n (1) and [Ag(NO3)(2,5-Br2py)2]n (4), which are isostructural. In contrast, [Ag(NO3)(3,5-Cl2py)2]2 (3) is dimeric, while its Br analogue [Ag(NO3)(3,5-Br2py)2]n (6) is polymeric in nature, being the ...
