catena-Poly[[(nitrato-κ2O,O′)silver(I)]-μ-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane-κ2P:P′]

Abstract

In the title chain compound, [Ag(NO3)(C26H24P2)]n, the bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) units link the Ag+ ions into chains along [001]. A nitrate anion is coordinated to the Ag atom. There is a centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the ethane C—C bond and a twofold rotation axis passes through the Ag, N and terminal O atoms. Each Ag atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two O atoms of the nitrate anion and two P atoms of dppe ligands. The two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 73.77 (3)°.
