Here, the Ag<sup>I</sup> cations are pentacoordinate, coordinated by four biotin anions <italic>via</italic> two S atoms and a ureido O atom, and by two carboxylate O atoms of the same molecule.

In (II), the Ag<sup>I</sup> cations are again pentacoordinated by three biotin molecules <italic>via</italic> two S atoms and a ureido O atom, and by two O atoms of a nitrate anion. In (I), (II) and (III), the Ag<sup>I</sup> cations are bridged by an S atom and are coordinated by the ureido O atom and the O atoms of the anions. The reaction of biotin with silver salts of noncoordinating anions, <italic>viz.</italic> hexafluoridophosphate (PF<sub>6</sub><sup>−</sup>) and hexafluoridoantimonate (SbF<sub>6</sub><sup>−</sup>), gave the chiral double‐stranded helical structures <italic>catena</italic>‐poly[[silver(I)‐bis{μ<sub>2</sub>‐5‐[(3a<italic>S</italic>, 4<italic>S</italic>, 6a<italic>R</italic>)‐2‐oxohexahydro‐1<italic>H</italic>‐thieno[3, 4‐<italic>d</italic>]imidazol‐4‐yl]pentanoato}] hexafluoridophosphate], {[Ag(C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>16</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>S)<sub>2</sub>](PF<sub>6</sub>)}<sub><italic>n</italic></sub> or {[Ag(H<italic>L</italic>)<sub>2</sub>](PF<sub>6</sub>)}<sub><italic>n</italic></sub>, (IV), and <italic>catena</italic>‐poly[[[{5‐[(3a<italic>S</italic>, 4<italic>S</italic>, 6a<italic>R</italic>)‐2‐oxohexahydro‐1<italic>H</italic>‐thieno[3, 4‐<italic>d</italic>]imidazol‐4‐yl]pentanoato}silver(I)]‐μ<sub>2</sub>‐{5‐[(3a<italic>S</italic>, 4<italic>S</italic>, 6a<italic>R</italic>)‐2‐oxohexahydro‐1<italic>H</italic>‐thieno[3, 4‐<italic>d</italic>]imidazol‐4‐yl]pentanoato}] hexafluoridoantimonate], {[Ag(C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>16</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>S)<sub>2</sub>](SbF<sub>6</sub>)}<sub><italic>n</italic></sub> or {[Ag(H<italic>L</italic>)<sub>2</sub>](SbF<sub>6</sub>)}<sub><italic>n</italic></sub>, (V), respectively. In (IV), the Ag<sup>I</sup> cations have a tetrahedral coordination environment, coordinated by four biotin molecules <italic>via</italic> two S atoms, and by two carboxy O atoms of two different molecules. In (V), however, the Ag<sup>I</sup> cations have a trigonal coordination environment, coordinated by three biotin molecules <italic>via</italic> two S atoms and one carboxy O atom. In (IV) and (V), neither the ureido O atom nor the F atoms of the anion are involved in coordination. Hence, the coordination environment of the Ag<sup>I</sup> cations varies from AgS<sub>2</sub>O trigonal to AgS<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> tetrahedral to AgS<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> square‐pyramidal. The conformation of the valeric acid side chain varies from extended to twisted and this, together with the various anions present, has an influence on the solid‐state structures of the resulting compounds. The various O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds present result in the formation of chiral two‐ and three‐dimensional networks, which are further stabilized by C—H...<italic>X</italic> (<italic>X</italic> = O, F, S) interactions, and by N—H...F interactions for (IV) and (V). Biotin itself has a twisted valeric acid side chain which is involved in an intramolecular C—H...S hydrogen bond. The tetrahydrothiophene ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom as the flap. It is displaced from the mean plane of the four C atoms (plane <italic>B</italic>) by 0.8789 (6) Å, towards the ureido ring (plane <italic>A</italic>). Planes <italic>A</italic> and <italic>B</italic> are inclined to one another by 58.89 (14)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked <italic>via</italic> O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, enclosing <italic>R</italic><sub>2</sub><sup>2</sup>(8) loops, forming zigzag chains propagating along [001]. These chains are linked <italic>via</italic> N—H...O hydrogen bonds, and C—H...S and C—H...O interactions forming a three‐dimensional network. The absolute configurations of biotin and complexes (I), (II), (IV) and (V) were confirmed crystallographically by resonant scattering.</p> </abstract>
