The title compound, [Ag2I2(C18H21P)4], has a dimeric structure located on a twofold rotation axis with each tetra­hedral AgI ion coordinated by two terminal phosphines and bridged by iodide ligands. Although this structural motif has been reported in bromide– and chloride–silver complexes, this is the first reported dimeric iodide–silver complex with monodentate phosphine.

Comment top

The 1:2 AgI:PCyPh2 dimeric complex is similar to the reported triphenyphosphine complexes with chlorine or bromine (Cassel, 1979; Bowmaker et al.,1993; Teo & Calabrese, 1976) and the 5-phenyldibenzophosphine complex with chloride (Attar et al., 1991). The 1:2 AgI:PCyPh2 dimeric complex is the first reported complex of this type with bridging iodine and monodentate phosphine. The molecule is located on a twofold axis.

Background information on monodentate phosphine–AgX (X=Br, Cl) adducts can be found in Attar et al. (1991), Bowmaker et al. (1993), Cassel (1979) and Teo & Calabrese (1976).

Experimental top

Synthesis of [Ag(PCyPh2)2I]2: 1 equivalent of AgI and 2.1 equivalents of diphenylcyclohexylphosphine were added in a vial containing anhydrous methylenechloride.The mixture was allowed to stir for 3 h at room temperature in darkness. Colorless crystals were grown by slow cooling of a saturated methylenechloride solution from ambient to 273 K in the dark. (yield 54%).

Refinement top

H atoms were assigned calculated positions with Uiso restrained to be 0.2Ueq of the bonded C atom and a C—H distance of 0.95–0.99 Å.

Experimental. Data collection is performed with four batch runs at φ = 0.00 ° (600 frames), at φ = 90.00 ° (600 frames), at φ = 180 ° (600 frames) and at φ = 270 ° (600 frames). Frame width = 0.30 ° in ω. Data is merged, corrected for decay, and treated with multi-scan absorption corrections.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
