(Nitrito-κ<sup>2</sup> <i>O</i>:<i>O</i>′)bis[tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphine-κ<i>P</i>]silver(I)
The mol-ecular structure of the title Ag<sup>I</sup> complex, [Ag(NO<sub>2</sub>)(C<sub>18</sub>H<sub>12</sub>F<sub>3</sub>P)<sub>2</sub>], features a distorted tetra-hedral geometry about the central Ag<sup>I</sup> atom, with a total range of bond angles spanning from 49.80 (5) to 114.92 (1)°. The distortion arises primarily due to the small bite angle [49.80 (5)°] of the nitrito ligand. The compound crystallizes with one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, in the space group <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>n</i>, with <i>Z</i> = 4 and <i>Z</i>' = 1.
