Tripodal polyphosphine ligands in silver (I) coordination chemistry: Mononuclear cf. polynuclear complex dependence vis-a-vis counterion and ligand to metal ratio

1:2, 1:1, 3:2 and 6:2 AgX:L adducts (L = 1,1,1-tris-diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane (Me-triphos) or bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine (Ph-triphos), X = O3SCF3, have been obtained depending on the ligand to metal ratio and reaction conditions.
