Unsupported intermolecular argentophilic interaction in the dimer of trinuclear silver(I) 3,5-diphenylpyrazolates

Dimer of trimer silver(I) μ-3,5-diphenylpyrazolate has been synthesized and characterized and show intermolecular interaction of ∼2.98 Å. The packing diagram shows independent units. The metallocycle comprised of silver centers is irregular and puckered. DFT calculations indicate that the interaction is due to dispersion forces.
