Template synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a trinuclear complex with four- and five-coordinate silver(i) centres

Abstract

Single-crystal X-ray analysis of the trinuclear complex [Ag₃L₂][CF₃SO₃]₃ [L = {(o-Ph₂C₆H₄)CH=NCH₂ CH₂}₃N], synthesized by interaction of Ag(CF₃SO₃), N(CH₂CH₂NH₂)₃ and o-Ph₂PC₆H₄(CHO) in 3:2:6 molar ratio in ethanol, shows that the complex has approximate C₂ symmetry and is composed of a four- and two five-coordinate silver(i) centres.
