The solid state structure of the compound is dinuclear based, in which the ligand tmtp uses two nitrogens (N3 and N4) to chelate to two different Ag(I) ions. The Ag–Ag distance is relatively short (3.109 Å), but is considered as too long for M–M bonding. The Ag(I) coordination is completed by weakly coordinated, asymmetric bidentate nitrate anions (Ag–O = 2.481–2.819 Å).
