Abstract

Reaction of silver(I) salts with three equivalents of tri-p-tolylphosphine in CH₃CN resulted in a series of isomorphous complexes [AgX{P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃}₃] (X = Br, SCN, ClO₄). These complexes all crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁. The complexes with X = Br, SCN are distorted tetrahedral around the silver(I) atom, whereas the ClO₄ ^- complex is distorted trigonal planar around the silver. The new complexes are compared with each other using r.m.s. overlay calculations as well as half-normal probability plot analysis and with the previously reported isomorphous chloride, bromide as well as the non-isomorphous iodide complexes.
