| Abstract: | Diphosphino organochalcogenide metal complexes have been investigated presently fortheir possible use as anti-cancer agents1-3]. However, the area of silver complexes withmixed phosphine-thiolato ligands has scarcely been touched4]. As a heterocyclic thiolato lig-and with potential S and N donors, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (Hmbo) is interesting because ofthe structural chemistry of its multifunctional coordination modes (unidentate-N, unidentate-S or bidentate-N : S)5-8]. Until now, Ag-mbo complex has been unknown to our knowl-edge, despite the fact that its complexes of Sn5] , Au6] and Li7,8] have been reported. Hereinwe report the X-ray crystal structure of a self-assembled coordination polymerAg2(μ2-dppe)3(S-mbo)2]n · 2nDMF(dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, Hmbo=2-mercaptobenzoxazole, DMF = dimethyl formamide). |
