Abstract

Crystallization of silver trifluoroacetate from chloroform solutions containing triphenylphosphine sulfide affords a trigonal and a monoclinic form of a 6:4 complex {[CF3C(O)OAg]6(Ph3PS) 4} of C2 symmetry with different amounts of chloroform in the crystals. With the Ph3PS components as template molecules, the CF3C(O)OAg units are assembled to form a 6-membered metallacycle codetermined by metallophilic bonding and enclosed by a 24-membered ring [AgOCO]6. A complex of the type [LAgOC(O)CF3]2, with L representing the isocyanide ligand pTolSO2-CH 2NC, has been shown to have a conventional bicyclic structure with three-coordinate silver atoms engaged in transannular metallophilic interactions.
