%X The silver(I) complex with glycolic acid, [Ag2(HOCH2CO2)2]n.nH2O, has been prepared and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction. The structure is based on a bis(carboxylato-O,O&#8242;) dimer [Ag-O, 2.234(2), 2.253(2) &#506;; Ag-Ag 2.8810(9)&#506;], extended in both the axial positions into a network polymer through two oxygens of a bidentate &#945;-hydroxy carboxy residue [Ag-O(hydroxy), 2.607(2) &#506;; Ag-O(carboxy), 2.456(2)&#506;; O-Ag-O, 63.45(5)&#8242;]. In this respect, the complex is unique among silver(I) carboxylate dimers.
