The coordination complex of 2-amino-benzaxole (2AB) with silver(I), namely, bis(2-aminobenzoxazole-κN)silver(I) nitrate-bis(2-aminobenzoxazole (1/2), [Ag(C7H6N2O)2]NO3·2C7H6N2O or [Ag(2AB)2]NO3·(2AB)2, was synthesized from ethanol solutions of AgNO3 and 2AB. The asymmetric unit contains one mol-ecule of [Ag(2AB)2]NO3·(2AB)2, The central silver(I) atom is coordinated by two nitro-gen donor atoms from 2-amino-benzaxazole ligands in an N2 coordination set while another two 2-amino-benzaxazole ligands and one nitrate anion remain uncoordinated. The crystal structure features several intra-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions as well as C-H⋯π, Ag⋯π and π-π inter-actions between adjacent AB ligands. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to investigate the inter-molecular inter-actions.
