The first trialkylphosphane telluride complexes of Ag(i): molecular, ionic and supramolecular structural alternatives

Abstract

The structures of the first phosphane telluride complexes of silver(I), obtained from i-Pr3PTe (1) with AgNMs2 [Ms = SO2CH3] and with AgSbF6, reveal the superior coordinating ability of 1, particularly as a bridging ligand, compared with related i-Pr3PS and i-Pr3PSe ligands.
