Reactions of new unsymmetrical pyridyl‐ and imidazoyl‐containing tripodal ligand, 3‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)‐N,N‐bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)propan‐1‐amine ( L ), with varied silver(I) salts result in formation of three supramolecular architectures [Ag 2 L 2 ](BF 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O ( 1 ), [Ag 2 L 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O ( 2 ) and [Ag 3 L 2 ](CF 3 SO 3 ) 3 ( 3 ). All the structures were established by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In the solid state, three complexes consist of one‐dimensional infinite chains, in which the conformation and the bridging mode of L for complexes 1 and 2 are the same but 3 different. There are Ag···Ag and π‐π interactions in 3 . The results imply that the shape and size of the anion have great impact on the structure of the complexes. The complexes were also characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry.
