Synthesis and structural characterization of adducts of silver(I) perchlorate with PR3 (R=Ph, cy, o-tolyl) and oligodentate aromatic bases derivative of 2,2′-bipyridyl, L, AgClO4:PR3:L (1:1:1)

Ten novel adducts of the form AgClO4:PR3:L (1:1:1) (R=Ph, cy, o-tolyl; L=2,2′-bipyridyl, 2,2′-biquinoline, bis(2-pyridyl)amine, bis(2-picolyl)amine) have been synthesized and characterized by analytical, spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes predominantly take the form [(R3P)AgL]+X−, with trigonal PAgN2 coordination environments, where the approach of anion or solvent may perturb the planarity of the silver environment
