Tetrakis(triphenylphosphane-κP)silver(I) trifluoroacetate ethanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title solvated salt, [Ag(C18H15P)4](CF3CO2)·C2H5OH, the AgI atom is coordinated by four P atoms from triphenylphosphane ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The anion and solvent are engaged in weak O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Of the four triphenylphosphane ligands, two each have an equally disordered phenyl ring while the AgI atom is disordered over two positions in a 0.9595 (15):0.0405 (15) ratio and the trifluoroacetate anion is equally disordered over two positions with respect to the lattice ethanol molecule.
