Crystal structure of chlorido[1-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea-κS]bis(triphenylphosphane-κP)silver(I)

Abstract

In the title compound, [AgCl(C7H7N3O2S)(C18H15P)2], the AgI ion is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment formed by P atoms from two triphenylphosphane ligands, one terminal S atom from the 1-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea ligand and a chloride ion. In the crystal, bifurcated (N—H)2...Cl hydrogen bonds [with graph-set motif R21(6)] connect complex molecules, forming zigzag chains along [001]. These chains are linked via weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (100). An intramolecular N—H...Cl hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring is also observed.
