(1,10-Phenanthroline-²N,N')(triphenylphosphine-P)silver(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate

J.-Q. Wu, Q.-H. Jin, K.-Y. Hu and C.-L. Zhang

Abstract: The structure of the title complex, [Ag(C₁₂H₈N₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)]CF₃SO₃, is based on a distorted trigonal-planar N₂P coordination of the Ag^I ion, provided by two N atoms of the bidentate phenanthroline ligand and one P atom of the triphenylphosphine ligand. The phenanthroline ligand and one phenyl ring of the triphenylphosphine ligand almost lie in one plane (maximum deviation = 0.014 Å from the best planes). The crystal structure may be stabilized by an intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bond between the phenanthroline ligand and the O atom of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion.
