Abstract
5-Chloro-2-nitrobenzoic acid reacts with silver oxide and 3-methyl-2-aminopyridine to give a mononuclear silver(I) complex, [Ag(C7H3ClNO4)(C6H8N2)2]. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The Ag atom in the complex is three-coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two 3-methyl-2-aminopyridine ligands and by one O atom of a 5-chloro-2-nitrobenzoate ligand, forming a distorted T-shaped coordination. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked through intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis. The complex shows high cytotoxic property to both normal and carcinoma cells.
