Bis[(2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphane-κ<i>P</i>](nitrito-κ<sup>2</sup> <i>O</i>,<i>O</i>′)silver(I)
The mol-ecular structure of the title Ag<sup>I</sup> complex, [Ag(NO<sub>2</sub>)(C<sub>19</sub>H<sub>17</sub>OP)<sub>2</sub>], is described, where a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment for the Ag<sup>I</sup> atom is apparent within a O<sub>2</sub>P<sub>2</sub> donor set as the nitrito anion coordinates in a bidentate mode. A fairly large angle for P-Ag-P [129.126 (16)°] is noted. The O-Ag-O chelate angle is = 50.38 (6)° and the P-Ag-O angles lie in the range 99.51 (5) to 118.45 (6)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions are evident.
