In the title homochiral three-dimensional heterometallic complex, [AgSm(C6H4NO2)3(C2H3O2)]n, the eight-coordinate SmIII ion displays a bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry, being coordinated by two O atoms from one acetate ligand, four O atoms from four bridging isonicotinate ligands and two O atoms from two terminal isonicotinate ligands. The four-coordinate AgI ion adopts a tetrahedral geometry, being bonded to two N atoms from two bridging isonicotinate ligands and two O atoms from two acetate ligands. These metal coordination units are connected by bridging isonicotinate and acetate ligands, generating a three-dimensional network.
