Bis (3,5-Di-Tert-Butyl-4h-1,2,4-Triazol-4-Amine-Kappa N-1)(Nitrato-Kappa O)Silver(I) Ethanol Monosolvate Monohydrate

The Ag-I atom in the title compound, [Ag(NO3)(C10H20N4)(2)]-C2H5OH center dot H2O, is coordinated by the N atoms of two Nheterocycles [N-Ag-N = 151.5 (1)degrees]; the approximately linear coordination geometry is distorted into a T-shaped geometry owing to a long Ag center dot center dot center dot O-nitrate bond [2.717 (4) angstrom]. The N atoms of the N-heterocycles that are not involved in coordination point towards the lattice water molecule, which functions as a hydrogen-bond donor. The water molecule itself is a hydrogen-bond acceptor towards the ethanol solvent molecule. Hydrogen bonds of the type N-H center dot center dot center dot O give rise to a layer motif parallel to (001).
