Reaction of silver(I) with anthranilic acid and oxine

It was found by elementary, crystal optics, X-ray diffraction analyses, and IR- and UV-spectroscopy methods that the reaction of Ag(I) with anthranili c acid (HAnt) and oxine (Ox) (at the 1 : 1 : 1 ratio of the components) yie lded a mixed-ligand complex AgOxAnt .H2O. It was shown that Ag(I) coordinat ed oxine in a neutral form and was bound with the nitrogen atom of Ox and w ith the oxygen atom of the deprotonated carboxylic group of Ant. An amino g roup of Ant(-) was not coordinated by the silver atom. The complex isolated is highly soluble in 2N solutions of nitric acid and ammonia and in concen trated sulfuric acid.
