-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thiolato)-
3N,S:S;
3S:N,S-bis[(triphenylphosphane-
P)silver(I)]The dinuclear title complex, [Ag2(C6H7N2S)2(C18H15P)2], comprises two inversion-related [Ag(C6H7N2S)(C18H15P)] units. The pyrimidinethiolate anion acts both as a bridging and a chelating ligand. The AgI ions are linked via two
2-S donor atoms, which generate a strictly planar Ag2S2 core with an Ag
Ag separation of 2.9569 (4) Å. The AgI ion presents a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, weak C-H
N and C-H
S hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (010).
Triphenylphosphane (0.31 g, 1.18 mmol) was dissolved in 30 cm3 of ethanol at 335 K. Silver acetate (0.10 g, 0.60 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. 4,6-Dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thione (0.18 g, 0.46 mmol) was added and the new reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h where upon the precipitate gradually disappeared. The resulting clear solution was filtered off and left to evaporate at room temperature. The crystalline solid, which was deposited upon standing for several days, was filtered off and dried under reduced pressure.
The H atoms bonded to C atoms were constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H bond lengths of 0.93 Å [aryl CH, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)] and 0.96 Å [methyl CH3, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)] except for H3, which was located in a difference map and refined isotropically.

In recent years, a large number of structural reports on metal(I) complexes containing heterocyclic thiones as ligands or mixed-ligands with triphenylphosphane have been studied (Aslanidis et al., 1997; McFarlane et al., 1998; Pakawatchai et al., 2012; Nimthong et al., 2012) because of not only their potential applications due to their antimicrobial activities (Nawaz et al., 2011), but also strongly luminescent properties (Hameau et al., 2012).
The structure of the title dinuclear mixed-ligand complex displays the distorted tetrahedral coordination of each AgI center, which exhibits a planar Ag2S2 moiety in which each of the doubly S-bridged AgI centers is surrounded by the one P atom of phosphane ligand and one N atom of the dmpymtH ligands (Fig. 1). The Ag—Ag distance of 2.9569 (4) Å in the four-membered Ag2S2 ring is shorter than in [Ag2X2(l-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] (X = Cl and Br), 3.8425 (8) and 3.8211 (4) Å, respectively (Lobana et al., 2008) and also shorter than the sum of the covalent radii of two AgI centers (3.44 Å). Focusing on the comparison of bond distances and bond angles around the AgI ion, the Ag—S bond lengths [2.5492 (6)–2.7897 (6) Å] are in good agreement with values reported for other silver(I) complexes with heterocyclic thione ligands, such as 2.5548 (9) Å for [Ag(PPh3)(pymtH)Br]2 (Cox et al., 2000) and 2.537 (2) Å for [Ag(Ph3P)(Diaz)2]2(NO3)2 (Nawaz et al., 2011). The Ag1—P1 bond length of 2.4088 (6) Å is similar to that found in [Ag(PPh3)(thiourea)(NO3)]2.[Ag(PPh3)(thiourea)]2(NO3)2 [2.4029 (10)–2.4157 (10) Å] (Isab et al., 2010). The two S1–Ag1–P1 angles of 116.81 (2) and 123.56 (2)° are larger than the normal tetrahedral value of 109.5°. In the crystal, the intermolecular interactions C14(sp2)—H14···N2 [H14···N2 = 2.686 (4) Å, C14(sp2)···N2 = 3.471 (4) Å and C14(sp2)—H14···N2 = 142.52 (8)°] and C14(sp2)—H14···S1 [H14···S1 = 2.942 (3) Å, C14(sp2)···S1 = 3.801 (3) Å and C14(sp2)—H14···S1 = 154.18 (9)°] form chains (Fig. 2). Moreover, secondary interactions C35(sp2)—H35···N2 [H35···N2 = 2.928 (4) Å, C35(sp2)···N2 = 3.756 (4) Å and C35(sp2)—H35···N2 = 150.48 (7)°] are also observed, which form the two-dimensional layer network (Fig. 3).
