Variable temperature studies of tetrapyridinesilver(I) hexafluorophosphate and tetrapyridinesilver(I) hexafluoroantimonate
As part of a larger study into phase transitions, the structures of tetra-pyridine-silver(I) hexa-fluoro-phosphate, [Ag(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>N)<sub>4</sub>](PF<sub>6</sub>) or AgPy<sub>4</sub>PF<sub>6</sub>, and tetra-pyridine-silver(I) hexa-fluoro-anti-monate, [Ag(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>N)<sub>4</sub>](SbF<sub>6</sub>) or AgPy<sub>4</sub>SbF<sub>6</sub>, were determined at 300 and 100 K from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds are isostructural, crystallizing in the space group <i>I</i> with <i>Z</i>' = 1/4. Over the temperature range studied no evidence of a phase change was found. The dihedral angles between the pyridine rings are compared with similar cations from the literature and discussed.
