Crystal structure and Hirshfeld-surface analysis of (benzenecarbothioamide-κS)bromidobis(triphenylphosphane-κP)silver(I)

Abstract

The title complex, [AgBr(C7H7NS)(C18H15P)2], was obtained from the reaction of silver(I) bromide with benzenecarbothioamide (C7H7NS) and triphenylphosphane (C18H15P) in the mixed solvent of acetonitrile and ethanol. The mononuclear complex exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry about the metal atom, arising from one S atom of a benzenecarbothioamide ligand, two P atoms of two triphenylphosphane molecules and one bromide ion. An intramolecular N—H...Br hydrogen bond is observed and in the crystal structure, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds are observed. In addition, C—H...π interactions occur, leading to [101] chains. Hirshfeld-surface analyses are presented and discussed.
