Silver(Ⅰ) Complexes with Mixed Diphosphine Ligands:Syntheses,Characterization and Spectroscopic Properties

Two novel silver(I) complexes Ag(DPEphos)(dppe)]Cl O4(1) and Ag(DPEphos)-(dppe)]SCN(2)(DPEphos = bis2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether, dppe = bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) are synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H/31 P NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectra. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 14.8821(12), b = 12.6620(11), c = 36.025(3) ?, β = 112.633(2)°, V = 6265.7(9) ?3, C62H52 Cl O5P4Ag, Mr = 1144.24, Z = 4, Dc = 1.213 g/cm3, F(000) = 2352, μ = 0.510 mm-1, the final R = 0.0616 and w R = 0.1192 for 4003 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). Complex 2 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 14.9021(13), b = 12.6100(11), c = 35.920(3) ?, β = 112.852(2)°, V = 6220.2(9) ?3, C63H52NOP4 SAg, Mr = 1102.87, Z = 4, Dc = 1.178 g/cm3, F(000) = 2272, μ = 0.498 mm-1, the final R = 0.0912 and w R = 0.1706 for 3287 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). In mono-nuclear complexes 1 and 2, the Ag(I) atom is chelated by DPEphos and dppe ligand. In the 31 P NMR spectra, there are splitting signals(doublets or triplets) which can be attributed to the coupling of the 107,109Ag–31P(from DPEphos or dppe ligand). All the emission peaks of these complexes are attributed to ligand-centered(π-π*) transitions.
