Summary: | There are three AgI cations, three p-toluenesulfonate (pts) anions, three hexamethylenetetramine (hmt) molecules and four water molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer, {[Ag3(C7H7O3S)3(C6H12N4)3(H2O)]·3H2O}n. Two of the pts anions show positional disorder of their O atoms in 0.60:0.40 and 0.50:0.50 ratios. The AgI ion is coordinated by three hmt molecules in an approximate trigonal–planar AgN3 arrangement. In each case, longer Ag—O bonds to a water molecule and a pts anion complete a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal AgN3O2 geometry for the metal ion. In the crystal, the bridging hmt molecules and pts ions generate a wave-like layer parallel to (001) and O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions consolidate the packing.
