R. Terroba et al., Unexpected diastereoisomeric-trimers in the crystalline structure of triflatetriphenylphosphinesilver(I), POLYHEDRON, 18(6), 1999, pp. 807-810
The synthesis and spectroscopic properties of [Ag-3(O3SCF3)(3)(PR3)(3)] (PR
3 = PPh3 and PPh2Me) are described and the trimeric nature has been confirm
ed in the case of the PPh3 derivative. The X-ray crystal structure of [Ag-3
(O3SCF3)(3)(PPh3)(3)] shows that each triflate group is in a different coor
dination mode and that there are two diastereoisomers in the asymmetric uni
