Reaction of AgNO3 and 1-alkyl-2-(naphthyl-(α/β)-azo) imidazole (α-/β-NaiR) in MeOH followed by the addition of NaClO 4 has isolated [Ag(α-/β-NaiR)2](ClO 4) (3/4). The complexes are characterized by microanalytical and spectral data. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study of bis-[1-ethyl-2- (naphthyl-α-azo)imidazole]silver(I) perchlorate confirms the structure of the complex. Argentophilicity of imidazole-N and steric crowding by naphthyl groups have forced a {2+2} distorted linear geometry. The structure shows intramolecular and intermolecular H-bonding in a 1D helical framework along with face-to-face π-π interactions.
