Abstract

The silver(I) amidinates bis[μ-N1,N2-bis(propan-2-yl)benzamidinato-κ2N1:N2]disilver(I), [Ag2(C13H19N2)2] or [Ag{PhC(NiPr)2}]2(1), and bis(μ-N1,N2-dicyclohexyl-3-cyclopropylpropynamidinato-κ2N1:N2)disilver(I), [Ag2(C18H27N2)2] or [Ag{cyclo-C3H5–C[triple-bond]C–C(NCy)2}]2(2a), exist as centrosymmetric dimers with a planar Ag2N4C2ring and a common linear coordination of the metal atoms in the crystalline state. Moiety2aforms a co-crystal with the related lithium amidinate, namely bis(μ-N1,N2-dicyclohexyl-3-cyclopropylpropynamidinato-κ2N1:N2)disilver(I) bis(μ-N1,N2-dicyclohexyl-3-cyclopropylpropynamidinato-κ3N1,N2:N1)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)lithium(I) toluene monosolvate, [Ag2(C18H27N2)2][Li2(C18H27N2)2(C4H8O)2]·C7H8or [Ag{cyclo-C3H5–C[triple-bond]C–C(NCy)2}]2[Li{cyclo-C3H5–C[triple-bond]C–C(NCy)2}(THF)]2·C7H8, composed as2a×2b× toluene. The lithium moiety2bfeatures a typical ladder-type dimeric structure with a distorted tetrahedral coordination of the metal atoms. In the silver(I) derivatives1and2a, the amidinate ligand adopts a μ-κN:κN′ coordination, while it is a μ-κN:κN:κN′-coordination in the case of lithium derivative2b.
