Crystal Structure of Bis(μ₂-azido)-tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-di-silver(I)

Abstract

The title complex, [(PPh₃)₂Ag(μ-N₃)₂Ag(PPh₃)₂], has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The silver atoms are joined through a double μ_1,3-azido (N₃) bridge. To each silver atom are also coordinated two P atoms from two triphenylphosphine molecules. The coordinated polyhedron around silver is a distorted tetrahedron.
