Crystal structure of tetra-kis-[μ-3-carboxy-1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)adamantane-κ2 N 1:N 2]tetra-fluoridodi-μ2-oxido-dioxidodisilver(I)divanadium(V) tetra-hydrate.

The crystal structure of the title mol-ecular complex, [Ag2{VO2F2}2(C13H17N3O2)4]·4H2O, supported by the heterofunctional ligand tr-ad-COOH [1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-carb-oxy-adamantane] is reported. Four 1,2,4-triazole groups of the ligand link two AgI atoms, as well as AgI and VV centres, forming the heterobimetallic coordination cluster {AgI 2(VVO2F2)2(tr)4}. VV exists as a vanadium oxofluoride anion and possesses a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment [VO2F2N]. A carb-oxy-lic acid functional group of the ligand stays in a neutral form and is involved in hydrogen bonding with solvent water mol-ecules and VO2F2 - ions of adjacent mol-ecules. The extended hydrogen-bonding network is responsible for the crystal packing in the structure.
