Abstract

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Ag(NO₂)(C₂₁H₂₁P)₂], exhibits a pseudo-tetra-hedral coordination around the central Ag^I atom. The compound crystallizes with one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a rather long b axis [33.8752 (2) Å]. Weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions consolidate the crystal packing. The nitrite-O atoms each occupy a single position in the coordination geometry.

Keywords: crystal structure; p-tolyl phosphine; silver(I) complex.
