Silver(I) anthranilate, [Ag2(C7H6NO2)2] n, was isolated as the major constituent in the attempted preparation of the adduct of anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid) with silver(I) p-toluenesulfonate and its structure has been determined by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of the complex are monoclinic, space group P21/n, with two dimers in a cell of dimensions a 5.3516(8), b 4.9746(2), c 25.386(5) A, β 91.547(8)°. The complex repeating unit comprises a distorted centrosymmetric biscarboxylato(-O,O′)-bridged dimer [Ag-O, 2.223, 2-409(4) A; Ag-Ag, 2.9128(9) A] but has, in addition, a third bond to an adjacent amine nitrogen [Ag-N, 2.301(5) A], which extends the structure into a zigzag chain polymer. The stereochemistry about each Ag centre is distorted trigonal planar [angle range, 89.9-142.9(2)°]. Relatively short inter-dimer Ag-Ag separations [2.989(1) A] are also present.
