4-[3-(Isonicotino-yloxy)propoxycarbon-yl]pyridinium diiodidoargentate(I)

The structure of the title compound, (C15H15N2O4)[AgI2], consists of an organic 4-[3-(isonicotino­yloxy)propoxycarbon­yl]pyridinium cation which has a gauche–gauche (O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C or GG’) conformation and lies on a twofold rotation axis, which passes through the central C atom of the aliphatic chain, and an inorganic [AgI2]− anion. In the complex anion, the Ag+ cation is bound to two I− anions in a linear geometry. The anion was modelled assuming disorder around a crystallographic inversion centre near the location of the Ag+ cation. The crystal packing is stabilized by a strong inter­molecular N—H[cdots, three dots, centered]N hydrogen bond, which links the cations into zigzag chains with graph-set notation C(16) running along the face diagonal of the ac plane. The N-bound H atom is disordered over two equally occupied symmetry-equivalent sites, so that the mol­ecule has a pyridinium ring at one end and a pyridine ring at the other.
