the 4000–400 cm range. Thermal analysis curves (TGA and DTA)
were obtained using a Seiko Exstar 6200 thermal analyzer in a dy-
Mo Ka radiation (k = 0.71073). The structures were solved by direct

methods and refined on F with the SHELX-97 program [19]. All non-
hydrogen atoms were found from the difference Fourier map and
refined anisotropically. All C hydrogen atoms were included using
a riding model. The H atoms of the OH group of pipet in 1 and
water molecules in 2 were refined freely. The details of data collec-
tion, refinement and crystallographic data are summarized in
Table 1.

A 10 ml aqueous solution of Na(barbH) (5,5-diethylbarbituric
acid sodium salt) (0.21 g, 1 mmol) was added to a 10 ml aqueous
solution of AgNO (0.17 g, 21 mmol) with stirring at room temper-

ature. The solution immediately became milky. The addition of N-
piperidineethanol (pipet) (0.13 ml) together with a mixture of 2-
propanol (PrOH) and acetonitrile (MeCN) (1:1) (10 mL) to the
milky suspension resulted in a clear solution. The resulting solu-
tion was allowed to stand in darkness at room temperature and

In 1, the barb ligands are in the form of dianions, acting as a tetra-
dentate bridging ligand between four silver(I) centers through two
negatively charged N and two carbonyl O atoms, forming centro-
symmetric tetranuclear units. To the best of our knowledge, the
tetradentate coordination mode of the barb dianion was observed
for the first time in this complex. The tetranuclear units are linked
by the N(barb)–Ag–N(barb) bridges, leading to a linear polymeric
chain propagating along the c axis (Fig. 1b). The present coordina-
tion polymer has three non-equivalent silver(I) ions. The coordina-
