Crystal structure of bis(triphenylphospine-κP)(methanol-κO)(tetrafluoroborate-κF)silver(I), [Ag(PPh3)2(CH3OH)BF4], C37H34AgBF4OP2

Abstract

C 37 H 34 AgBF 4 OP 2 , monoclinic, P2 1 /n (no. 14), a = 13.748(1) Å, b = 12.757(1) Å, c = 19.716(2) Å, b = 92.657(1)°,Source of material 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (0.1 mmol, 0.015 g) and triphenylphosphine (PPh 3 , 0.4 mmol, 0.105 g) were added into the stirring solution of AgBF 4 (0.2 mmol, 0.039 g) in a mixture of CH 2 Cl 2 (5ml) and CH 3 OH (5ml). After being stirred for 2h at room temperature, the white precipitate was filtered off. Subsequent slow evaporation of the colourless filtrate resulted in the formation of colourless crystals of the title complex [Ag(PPh 3 ) 2 (CH 3 OH)BF 4 ]. Crystals suitable for single crystal Xray diffraction were selected directly from the sample as prepared.
