Bis [(2-meth­­oxy­phen­yl) di­phenyl­phosphane-κP] (nitrito-κ2O,O') silver (I)

Abstract

The synthesis and single-crystal structure description of a silver(I) diphenyl-2-meth­oxy­phenyl­phosphine nitrite complex is described. The mol­ecular structure of the title AgI complex, [Ag(NO2)(C19H17OP)2], is described, where a distorted tetra­hedral coordination environment for the AgI atom is apparent within a O2P2 donor set as the nitrito anion coordinates in a bidentate mode. A fairly large angle for P—Ag—P [129.126 (16)°] is noted. The O—Ag—O chelate angle is = 50.38 (6)° and the P—Ag—O angles lie in the range 99.51 (5) to 118.45 (6)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O inter­actions are evident.
