The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure
determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of silver(I) nitrate with triphenylstibine,
AgNO3/SbPh3 (1 : 1), is
recorded, being monoclinic,
Cc,a
12·824(2), b
15·794(4),c 9·796(2) Å, β
117·50(1)°, Z= 4; conventional
R on F was 0·030 for 2881
independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. The
complex is a one-dimensional polymer with bridging nitrate groups, resembling
in this respect its phosphine and arsine analogues. The completion of this
study, along with related species recorded in accompanying papers, means that
full structural data are now available for the complete array
AgNO3/EPh3 (1 :
n), E = P, As, Sb, n
= 1–4, with the one exception of E = Sb,
n = 2.
