Abstract

A series of solid state AgLX complexes has been prepared where X = NO − 3, L = 1-(2-pyridyl)- n-thia- m-hydroxy-alkane ( n = 2, 3; m = 0, 4 or 5; with C 3, C 4 and C 5 alkanes). Structure assignment of the complexes is based on their conductivities in aprotic solvents and on the i.r.-spectroscopic analysis of the pyridine and nitrate group vibrations. The pyridine group is found to coordinate in most cases whereas the nitrate group may either operate as a free ion or as a coordinating ligand. Assuming in all cases the coordination of the soft sulphur donor, a bicyclic complex may then be proposed with a linear or trigonal arrangement around the silver(I) ion.
