Abstract
The crystal structure of (Ph3P)2AgOC6H2Cl3 (I) is reported along with the syntheses and 35Cl and 63Cu NQR spectra of I and several related silver (I) and copper (I) 2,6-di- and 2,4,6-trichlorophenolates containing phosphines, phosphites, and pyridine as co-ligands. I crystallizes in space group P21/cc with a= 16.692(4) Å, b= 17.942 (4) A, c = 12.857 (3) Å, β = 97.60 (1)°, F = 3816.68 Å3, and Z = 4. The final R (F) = 0.0475 and R (W) = 0.0396. Ag is coordinated in a trigonal planar geometry by the P atoms of the two triphenylphosphine ligands and the O atom of the chlorophenolate; Ag is then capped by one ortho-chlorine of the trichlorophenolate ligand at a distance of 3.160 (2) Å. In the 35Cl NQR spectrum of this compound the two ortho-chlorines of the trichlorophenolate ligand have a large frequency difference of 1.500 MHz, indicating that one ortho-chlorine is coordinated to the silver; 35Cl NQR spectra of related complexes are also presented and discussed. The 35Cl NQR frequency differences of coordinated and non-coordinated ortho-chlorines in metal chlorophenolates correlate well with the metal-chlorine distances but not with the metal-chlorine-carbon bond angles. A different correlation is found for the silver complexes of dichloroalkanes; possible reasons for this are discussed.
