A set of pyrazole-bridged bis(imidazolium) compounds [H3L1]X2 - [H3 L4]X2 (L1 = 3,5-bis[1-(tert-butyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole; L2 = 3,5-bis[1-(tert-butyl)imidazolium- 1-ylmethyl]-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole; L3 = 3,5-bis[1-(1-adamantyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-1Hpyrazole; L4 = 3,5-bis[1-(1-adamantyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole; X = Cl−, BF4 − or PF6 −) has been prepared, and three compounds have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The unique [H3L4][H2L4](PF6)3 features a dimeric face-to-face arrangement of two molecules due to the involvement of both the pyrazole-NH and the imidazolium C2H in hydrogen bonding. [H3L1]X2 - [H3L4]X2 serve as precursors for silver(I) complexes with compartmental pyrazolate-bridged bis(NHC) ligands. The complexes have been readily prepared by the Ag2O route and feature either the known [(L1−4)2Ag4]2+ or the new [(H2L1)4Ag4]8+ motif, depending on the solvent for the reaction (MeCN or acetone). [(H2L1)4Ag4](PF6)8 contains a central (pzAg)4 ring with pendant imidazolium side arms. Upon further reaction with Ag2O in MeCN it was found to undergo transformation to the corresponding [(L1)2Ag4](PF6)2. All complexes have been thoroughly studied by NMR spectroscopy in solution, and preliminary luminescence data of [(H2L1)4Ag4](PF6)8 have been recorded
