Abstract
The reaction of silver(I) iodide with tri(p-tolyl)phosphine in
MeCN solution in 1:3 molar ratio yields a polymorph of the
complex of the formula [AgI{P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃}₃], with the Ag
atom in a distorted tetrahedral environment. A polymorphic
structure of this complex (a) is compared with previously
published crystal structures (b), determined at different
temperatures. The two polymorphs are compared using
r.m.s. overlay calculations as well as half-normal probability
plots.
