The structure of the title complex, [Ag₂(NO₃)₂(C₁₉H₁₇P)₂]_n, reveals a chain emanating from the coordination of one phosphine ligand to each silver(I) cation, as well as the bis-monodentate coordination of a bridging nitrato ligand (per Ag atom) and the bis-bidentate coordination of another bridging nitrato ligand (per Ag atom). The distorted four-coordinate Ag atoms are characterized by bonding angles that notably deviate from the ideal tetra­hedral shape.

Special details

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

Refinement. All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms.
