-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane-1:2
2P:P']-bis(nitrito-
2O,O')]disilver(I) acetonitrile disolvateThe title complex, [Ag2(NO2)2(C25H22P2)2]·2CH3CN, is a centrosymmetric dimer in which two bis(diphenylphosphino)methane ligands bridge two Ag+ ions, forming an eight-membered ring with a short Ag
Ag separation of 3.1809 (5) Å. The distorted P2O2 coordination of the cation is completed by two O-donors from a symmetric bidentate chelate NO2- anion [Ag-O = 2.550 (3) and 2.567 (3) Å].
The title complex was synthesized using the following procedure. Bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm, 0.0769 g, 0.2 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of AgNO2 (0.0308 g, 0.2 mmol) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (0.0368 g, 0.2 mmol) in a mixture of CH3CN (5 ml) and H2O (5 ml). Stirring was continued for 6 h at room temperature, after which the white precipitate was filtered off. Subsequent slow evaporation of the colorless filtrate at ambient temperature resulted in the formation of colorless crystals of the title complex. Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were selected directly from the sample as prepared.
The final refinements were performed with isotropic thermal parameters. All hydrogen atoms were located in calculated sites with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.96 Å (methyl) or 0.97 Å (methylene) and included in the refinement in the riding model approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(aromatic and methylene C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

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. |

The coordination chemistry of silver(I) complexes has been extensively studied because of their luminescence properties and potential applications in catalysis, photography, antimicrobial activities and electrochemical processes (Bowmaker et al., 1993; Cui, Hu et al., 2010; Cui, Jin et al., 2010; Jin, Hu et al., 2010; Jin, Song et al., 2010; Meijboom et al., 2009). Recently, some silver(I) complexes containing phosphine ligands and coordinated anions have been reported (Jin et al., 2008; Song et al., 2010). Continuing these efforts, we synthesized a new complex using AgNO2, bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, the title compound [Ag2(dppm)2(NO2)2] . 2(CH3CN), and the structure is reported here.
In the title compound two silver atoms are bridged by two dppm ligands, giving a centrosymmetric dimer (Fig. 1) having a Ag···Ag distance of 3.1809 (5) Å, which is longer than that found in the analogous complex [Ag2L2](SO3CF3)2 (L = 4'-phenylterpyridine) [2.9452 (4) Å] (Ma et al., 2009). Each of the two NO2- anions chelates an Ag atom with Ag—O bond distances of 2.550 (3) and 2.567 (3) Å, so each Ag atom is tetracoordinated. These values compare with 2.694 (4) and 2.559 (5) Å in a similar crystal [AgNO2(dppm)]2, which was synthesized in methanol (Effendy et al., 2004). In the title complex, the P2—Ag1—P1 angle is 144.82 (3)°, the O1—Ag1—O2 angle is 47.98 (10)°, while the P—Ag1—O angles are in the range of 85.18 (7)–129.41 (7)°, indicating a very distorted tetrahedral stereochemistry about the two silver(I) atoms. The Ag1—P1 and Ag1—P2 bond lengths are 2.4747 (8) and 2.4395 (9) Å, which are both longer than the Ag—P bond found in [Ag(NCS)(C25H22P2)]n (Song et al., 2010), which is analogous to the title compound, synthesized using a similar reaction in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline.
