(Nitrito-κ2O,O′)bis[tris(4-methylphenyl)phosphane-κP]silver(I)

Abstract

The molecular structure of the title compound, [Ag(NO2)(C21H21P)2], exhibits a pseudo-tetrahedral coordination around the central AgI atom. The compound crystallizes with one molecule in the asymmetric unit in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a rather long b axis [33.8752 (2) Å]. Weak C—H...O and C—H...N interactions consolidate the crystal packing. The nitrite-O atoms each occupy a single position in the coordination geometry.
