The crystal structure of (Ph 3 P) 2 AgOC 6 H 2 Cl 3 (I) is reported along with the syntheses and 35 C1 and 63 Cu NQR spectra of I and several related silver (I) and copper (I) 2,6-di-and 2,4,6-trichlorophenolates containing phosphines, phosphites, and pyridine as co-ligands. I crystallizes in space group P2 Jc with a= 16.692(4) Ä, b= 17.942 (4) A, c= 12.857 (3) Ä, /? = 97.60 (1)°, F = 3816.68 Ä 3 , and Z = 4. The final R (F) = 0.0475 and R (W) = 0.0396. Ag is coordinated in a trigonal planar geometry by the P atoms of the two triphenylphosphine ligands and the O atom of the chlorophenolate; Ag is then capped by one ortho-chlorine of the trichlorophenolate ligand at a distance of 3.160 (2) Ä. In the 35 C1 NQR spectrum of this compound the two orf/io-chlorines of the trichlorophenolate ligand have a large frequency difference of 1.500 MHz, indicating that one ortho-chlorine is coordinated to the silver; 35 C1 NQR spectra of related complexes are also presented and discussed. The 35 C1 NQR frequency differences of coordinated and non-coordinated orr/io-chlorines in metal chlorophenolates correlate well with the metal-chlorine distances but not with the metal-chlorine-carbon bond angles. A different correlation is found for the silver complexes of dichloroalkanes; possible reasons for this are discussed.
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.
