<i>catena</i>-Poly[[bis[tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine-κ<i>P</i>]silver(I)]-μ-thiocyanato-κ<sup>2</sup> <i>N</i>:<i>S</i>]
The coordination polymer, [Ag(NCS)(C<sub>21</sub>H<sub>21</sub>O<sub>3</sub>P)<sub>2</sub>] <sub><i>n</i></sub> or {[Ag(P(4-OMePh)<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]-μ-NCS} <sub><i>n</i></sub> , features μ-thio-cyanato ligands bridging between neighbouring silver(I) atoms, generating chains along the <i>b</i>-axis direction. Each Ag<sup>I</sup> atom is four-coordinate, with two phospho-rus donors from two distinct tris-(<i>p</i>-meth-oxy-phen-yl)phosphine ligands, and two atoms from the thio-cyanato ligands in severely distorted tetra-hedral shape. The Ag-P [2.4331 (6) and 2.4625 (5) Å], Ag-N [2.339 (2) Å] and Ag-S [2.6760 (6) Å] bond lengths all appear within the expected ranges, with corresponding P-Ag-P and S-Ag-N angles of 129.610 (19) and 86.75 (6)°. In the crystal, the polymeric chains pack into layers parallel to (001) separated by the aryl groups of the phosphine ligands.
