Lewis-Base Adducts of Group 11 Metal(I) Compounds. LXXIV Synthesis and Structure of the 1 : 1 Adduct of Silver(I) Nitrate with Triphenylstibine

Abstract

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of silver(I) nitrate with triphenylstibine, AgNO₃/SbPh₃ (1 : 1), is recorded, being monoclinic, Cc,a 12·824(2), b 15·794(4),c 9·796(2) Å, β 117·50(1)°, Z= 4; conventional R on F was 0·030 for 2881 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. The complex is a one-dimensional polymer with bridging nitrate groups, resembling in this respect its phosphine and arsine analogues. The completion of this study, along with related species recorded in accompanying papers, means that full structural data are now available for the complete array AgNO₃/EPh₃ (1 : n), E = P, As, Sb, n = 1–4, with the one exception of E = Sb, n = 2.
