Abstract

The mol-ecular structure of the title complex, [Ag(NO₃)(C₁₉H₁₇P)₃], exhibits a severely distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment around the central Ag^I atom, comprising one O and three P atoms. Apart from a primary Ag-O coordination of the nitrato ligand of 2.667 (3) Å, a second (weaker) secondary inter-action of the nitrato ligand via the other O atom of 3.118 (4) Å is observed. The compound crystallizes with a complete mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions consolidate the packing.

Keywords: crystal structure; silver(I) phosphine inorganic complex.
