Materials Data on Ag(CO)2 by Materials Project
AgO2C2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four AgO2C2 clusters and two AgO2C2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each AgO2C2 cluster, Ag2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.55 Å. There are two inequivalent C1+ sites. In the first C1+ site, C1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.26 Å. In the second C1+ site, C1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.26 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag2+ and one C1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ag2+ and one C1+ atom. In each AgO2C2 ribbon, Ag2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.58 Å. There are two inequivalent C1+ sites. In the first C1+ site, C1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.26 Å. In the second C1+ site, C1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.26 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag2+ and one C1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ag2+ and one C1+ atom.
