By employing silver salts with a weakly coordinating anion Ag[A] ([A]=[FAl{OC F } ], [Al{OC(CF ) } ]), two phosphaalkynes could be coordinated side-on to a bare silver(I) center to form the unprecedented homoleptic complexes [Ag(η -P≡CtBu) ][FAl{OC F } ] (1) and [Ag(η -P≡CtBu) ][Al{OC(CF ) } ] (2). DFT calculations show that the perpendicular arrangement in 1 is the minimum energy structure of the coordination of the two phosphaalkynes to a silver atom, whereas for 2 a unique square-planar coordination mode of the phosphaalkynes at Ag was found. Reactions with donor molecules yield the trigonally planar coordinated silver salts [((CH ) CO)Ag(η -P≡CtBu) ][FAl{OC F } ] (3) and [(C H ) Ag(η -P≡CtBu)][FAl{OC F } ] (4). All of the compounds were comprehensively characterized in solution and in the solid state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
