Silver ketenide

Abstract
X-Ray and electron diffraction analyses, together with spectroscopic and chemical properties, show silver ketenide, Ag2C2O (I), to have an unusual covalent layer structure in which strong directed bonds exist between metal atoms and the terminal carbon atoms of linear ketenide groups: the distance between adjacent silver atoms in a layer is 2·84 Å, slightly less than in silver metal (2·88 Å), and the interlayer separation is 5·846 Å.
