Easy access to a new class of anionic cyano-bridged di- and tri-nuclear organotin adducts. Crystal structure of [N(PPh3)2][ClPh3Sn(µ-NC)Ag(CN)

Abstract

Cyanometallates [N(PPh3)2][Ag(CN)2]1 and [N(PPh3)2]2[Pd(CN)4]2 reacted with SnPh3Cl, producing anionic complexes characterized by IR and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy, an X-ray structural analysis of the silver complex evidencing a Sn–NC–Ag bridging interaction; the crystal structure of 1 has also been determined for comparison.
