Novel solvates in AgX:dpex (n:1) systems (n = 1 or 2); X = oxyanion; dppx = Ph2P(Y)PPh2, Y = (CH2)3, Fc

Four novel solvated forms are prepared and characterized for diverse silver oxyanion salt:bis(diphenylphosphino)-ligand adducts. AgClO4:dppf:MeCN (2:1:4) ('dppf' = bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) is a binuclear centrosymmetric species. The two MeOH/H2O solvates of AgX:dppp (2:1) are single stranded polymers (X = carboxylate: 'ac' = acetate, 'tfa' = trifluoroacetate; 'dppp' = Ph2P(CH2)xPPh2; x = 3) · MeOH and Agac:dppp:MeOH(2:1:0.5)·312H2O. AgClO4:dppe:MeCN (1:1:1) ('dppe', x = 2), is a one-dimensional polymer with unidentate MeCN and OClO3 coordinated to the silver.
