Two new dithioether ligands, 1,4-bis[(phenylsulfanyl)methyl]naphthalene (L 1 ), and 4,4'-bis[(tert-butylsulfanyl)methyl]biphenyl (L 2 ) were synthesized and their silver(I) complexes were studied. Both Ag I complexes, [AgL 1 (NO 3 )] n (1) and [AgL 2 (NO 3 )] 2 (2), were synthesized at ambient temperature and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal Xray diffraction analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis shows that com-
