In the title compound, {[Ag(2)Pr(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(4)(H(2)O)(4)]ClO(4)·H(2)O}(n), the Pr(III) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, has a distorted square-anti­prismatic coordination geometry, defined by four O atoms from four nicotinate (nic) ligands and four water mol­ecules. The Ag(I) atom is coordinated in an almost linear fashion by two pyridyl N atoms from two nicotinate ligands. The linear coordination is augmented by weak inter­actions with three O atoms from one perchlorate anion, one uncoordinated water mol­ecule and one carboxyl­ate group. Two Pr atoms link two {Ag(nic)(2)}(+) units into a ring, which is further extended into an infinite zigzag chain by sharing the Pr atoms. These chains are further connected into a three-dimensional network via weak Ag⋯O inter­actions, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, Ag⋯Ag inter­actions [3.357 (2) Å] and π–π inter­actions between the pyridyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.685 (4) Å].
