In the title salt, [Ag2(CF3CO2)2(C10H8N2)]n, which may also be regarded as a coordination polymer if long Ag...O interactions are considered, each of the N atoms of the somewhat twisted 2,2′-bipyridine molecule [N—C—C—N = −27.5 (4)°] binds to an Ag atom, and each of the carboxylate ligands is tridentate, linking to three Ag atoms. The bidentate carboxylate O atoms bridge the same two Ag atoms, resulting in the formation of Ag2O2 rings. These rings are bridged by the 2,2′-bipyridine ligands, forming a chain along the b axis. The chains are linked into double chains via the remaining Ag—O bonds and Ag...Ag contacts. As a consequence of the Ag...Ag contacts, the NO4 donor set about each Ag atom is heavily distorted. Finally, the chains are linked into a three-dimensional network by a combination of C—H...O and C—H...F interactions.
