Bis(μ- N, N-diethyldithiocarbamato-κ3 S, S′: S′)bis[(μ- N, N-diethyldithiocarbamato-κ2 S, S′)silver(II)].

The title AgII complex, [Ag2(C5H10NS2)4], has been obtained by the reaction of AgNO3 and Na(detc) with a 1:2 molar ratio in a methanol solution at 353 K (detc = N, N-diethyl­dithio­carbamate). In the crystal structure of the complex, two detc anions chelate to an AgII ion in an S, S′-bidentate manner, and an S atom of the detc anion bridges to the neighboring AgII ion to form the centrosymmetric dinuclear mol­ecule.
