The structure of the title complex, [Ag(C12H8N2)(C18H15P)]CF3SO3, is based on a distorted trigonal–planar N2P coordination of the AgI 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—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the phenanthroline ligand and the O atom of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion.
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.
