Synthesis and characterization of dinuclear silver(I) complexes with exchangeable nitrile ligands

• Dinuclear Ag(I) complexes bearing the P ∩ N ligand 2-diphenylphosphino-6-methylpyridine have been prepared.
• The complex have the generic formula [Ag2(P ∩ N)3(NCR)](BF4)2 (R = Me, Et, Ph).
• The crystal structures were determined.
• The nitrile ligands can be easily exchanged by re-crystallisation in the respective organic nitrile.

We have prepared three silver(I) complexes of the type [Ag2(P ∩ N)3(NCR)](BF4)2 with (R = Me, Et, Ph). The crystal structures of the complexes were determined. The nitrile ligands can be easily exchanged by re-crystallisation in the respective nitrile. The luminescence properties were also investigated.
