Crystal structure analyses of bis(triphenyl- phosphoranyliden)ammonium bis(pentafluoroethyl) argentate, [Ph3P=N=PPh3][Ag(C2F5)2] and bis[bis(triphenylphosphoranyliden)ammonium] tetrachloro-diargentate, [Ph3P=N=PPh3]2[ClAg(μ-Cl)2AgCl]

Bis(triphenylphosphoranyliden)ammonium bis(pentafluoroethyl)argentate, Ph₃P=N= PPh₃]Ag(C₂F₅)₂] (1) and bisbis(triphenylphosphoranyliden)ammonium]tetrachloro-diargentate, Ph₃P=N=PPh₃]₂ClAg(μ-Cl)₂AgCl] (2) were crystallized from the reaction mixture of pentafluoroethylsilver(I) and bis(triphenylphosphoranyliden)ammonium chlo-ride. Crystallization of 1 occurs in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/c (No. 14) with a = 17.083(2) Å, b = 11.600(2) Å, c = 19.833(2) Å, β = 109.66(1)°, V = 3700.8(7) ų, Z = 4. 2 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) with a = 19.540(1) Å, b = 15.926(1) Å, c = 20.160(1) Å, V = 6273.6(3) ų, Z = 8.
