Chemistry of thiocarboxylates: Synthesis and structures of neutral silver(I) thiocarboxylates with triphenylphosphine
†
Abstract
The reaction of AgCl, Na+R{O}CS− (R = Me or Ph) and PPh3 in the ratio 1∶

2 gave the corresponding bis-phosphine adducts, [Ag(SC{O}R)(PPh3)2] (R = Me 1 or Ph 2). The structure of 2 was shown to be a monomer by
