%X Silver(I) anthranilate, &#91;Ag2(C7H6NO2)2&#93;n, was isolated as the major constituent in the attempted preparation of the adduct of anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid) with silver(I) p-toluenesulfonate and its structure has been determined by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of the complex are monoclinic, space group P 21/n, with two dimers in a cell of dimensions a 5&#183;3516(8), b 4&#183;9746(2), c 25&#183;386(5) &#197;, &#946; 91&#183; 547(8)&#176;. The complex repeating unit comprises a distorted centrosymmetric biscarboxylato(-O,O&#8242;)-bridged dimer &#91;Ag&#8722;O, 2&#183;223, 2&#183;409(4) &#197;; Ag---Ag 2&#183;9128(9) &#197;&#93; but has, in addition, a third bond to an adjacent amine nitrogen &#91;Ag&#8722;N, 2&#183;301(5) &#197;&#93;, which extends the structure into a zigzag chain polymer. The stereochemistry about each Ag centre is distorted trigonal planar &#91;angle range, 89&#183;9&#8722;142&#183;9(2)&#176;&#93;. Relatively short inter-dimer Ag---Ag separations &#91;2&#183;989(1) &#197;&#93; are also present.
