Abstract

The reaction of silver(I) bromide with tri(p-tolyl)phosphine in MeCN solution in 1:1 molar ratios resulted in a complexes of the formula [AgBr{P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃}]₄. This compound has a tetrameric structure with a concave coordination polyhedron, in between a cube and a stella quadrangula. Weak silver-silver interactions were observed. The current compound is compared to the Cl and I analogs using distance-distance plots. The silver-silver interactions seem to dominate the geometry of these tetrameric type of complexes.
