Abstract
A mixed-ligand silver(I) complex of triphenylphosphine and N,N'-dibutylthiourea (Dbtu), [Ag(Ph3P)2(Dbtu) 2]NO3, is prepared and its structure in the solid state is determined by X-ray crystallography. X-ray structure of this complex shows that it is mononuclear with the silver atom coordinated by two PPh3 and two dibutylthiourea ligands adopting a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The crystal structure shows the formation of 1-D chains through intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between N-H of Dbtu and nitrate ions. The new complex is also characterized by IR and NMR (1H and 31P) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding. A similar mixedligand complex is also prepared for tetramethylthiourea (Tmtu), but the structure of the resulting compound shows that it is a bis(phosphine) complex, [Ag(PPh3)2NO3] rather than a mixed-ligand complex.
