In the title compound, {[Ag(C(14)H(10)N(4)O)(2)]AsF(6)}(n), the Ag(I) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two different pyridyl rings and one N atom from one carbonitrile group of three different N'-(4-cyano-benzyl-idene)nicotinohydrazide ligands in a distorted T-shaped geometry.

Dichlorido(2,9-dimeth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')zinc(II).

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2)O(2))], the Zn(II) center is four-coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,9-dimeth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl atoms. The coordination geometry is distorted tetra-hedral, as the Zn-N bond distances are shorter than the Zn-Cl distances, and the Cl-Zn-N and Cl-Zn-Cl bond angles are much larger than the N-Zn-N angle. For the ligand, the O and C atoms of the meth-oxy groups are almost in the plane defined by the phenanthroline ring.

A grid-like two-dimensional Ag(I)coordination polymer: poly[[[mu3-N'-(4-cyanobenzylidene)isonicotinohydrazide]silver(I)] perchlorate].

This study presents new coordinating modes of a Schiff base with three coordinating groups and an interesting two-dimensional framework based on two types of constructing units.
