Abstract

The reaction of Ag(I) nitrate with triphenylphosphine in methanol in 1:1 molar ratios and recrystallization in toluene resulted in complex of the formula [Ag(PPh3)2NO3]∙C7H8. The compound is a mononuclear neutral complex in which the Ag atom is in a tetrahedral environment consisting of two triphenylphosphine ligands and a nitrate ion acting as a bidentate ligand. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic P`1 space group and the molecular structure of the compound contained a distorted toluene solvent of crystallization.

 

Key words: Triphenylphosphine complex, molecular structure, crystal structure, silver nitrate, toluene.
