Single crystals of the title compound bis[bis­(1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazol-2-yl­idene)silver(I)] 1,5,5,7,11,11-hexa­chloro-2,8-di­oxa-4,6,10,12,13,14-hexa­aza-1λ5,3,5λ5,7λ5,9,11λ5-hexa­phospha­tricyclo­[7.3.1.13,7]tetra­deca-1(13),4,7(14),10-tetra­ene-6,12-diide 3,9-dioxide, [Ag(C6H10N2)2](Cl6N6O4P6)0.5, were isolated from the reaction of the silver N-heteocyclic carbene complex [Ag(C6H10N2)2]Cl and hexa­chloro­cyclo­triphos­phazene [NPCl2]3 in the presence of water. The asymmetric unit contains one silver carbene cation with the carbene ligands bound to the Ag(I) in an almost linear arrangement and one half of a hydrolyzed phosphazene dianion. The second cation and additional half of the anion are generated by an inversion center.

Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene [NPCl2]3 is used as a starting material for the synthesis of poly(dichlorophosphazene). This conversion can be achived by a ring opening melt polymerization process at high temperature, generally greater than 473 °K. It has long been contested that trace amounts of water not only accelerate the rate of polymerization but are necessray to generate active species needed to simply promote polymer formation (Allcock, 2003; Allcock et al., 1975). Isolation of hydrolyzed species gives insight into the still unclear role that water plays in this polymerization reaction (Gabler et al., 1990). As part of our broader studies on the irreproducibility in the synthesis of poly(dichlorophosphazene) we report the first crystal structure of a dimeric hydrolyzed chlorophosphazene dianion.

The asymmetric unit consists of one silver N-heteocyclic carbene cation [AgC12H20N4]+ and half of a hydrolyzed phosphazene dianion [Cl6N6O4P6]2-. The second cation and other half of the dianion are generated by a crystallographic inversion center at x,y,z (1/2,1/2,1/2) located between one of the bridging oxygen atoms of the dimeric dianion and its symmetry generated equivalent. Each of the Ag(I) atoms is bound to two identical N-heterocyclic carbene ligands in a linear fashion. Two partially hydrolyzed phosphazene rings are joined by bridging oxygen atoms from a phosphorus atom of one ring to the other to form the dimeric dianion. The P—O—P bonds of the bridging oxygen atoms are inequivalent . The P—N bond distances of the individual rings deviate from the reported values of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, all six being virtually equivalent (Bartlett et al., 2006; Bullen, 1971). Two of the P—N bonds on each of the rings show significant double bond character while the remaining P—N bonds are lengthened to give more single bond character.

A small amount of crystals were obtained after removing volatiles from the reaction.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were calculated and palced in geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances of 0.95 Å (aromatic), 0.99 Å (methylene), and 0.98 Å (methyl). H atoms were constrained to ride on the parent carbon atom with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic and methylene and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl protons.

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.
