Structural diversity of silver (I) azine complexes - Effect of substituents and counter anions

► In this study we have described two Ag(I) coordination polymers and one Ag(I) dimer of two azine ligands. ► We have examined the effect of substituents and counter anions on the nuclearity of the Ag(I) complexes. ► ClO4- anion gives coordination polymers with the azine of larger substituents. ► NO3- anion provides coordination polymer in case of smaller substituents but a dimer in case of the larger substituents. ► Tetrahedral as well as square pyramidal coordination motifs of the silver (I) ions have been observed.
