A tetra-silver(I)ditungsten(VI) cluster with sulfide and bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)methane ligands
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ag(4)W(2)S(8)(C(25)H(22)P(2))(3)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, tris-[μ(2)-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)meth-ane]-3:6κ(2)P:P';4:5κ(2)P:P';5:6κ(2)P:P'-μ(5)-sulfido-2:3:4:5:6κ(5)S-μ(3)-sulfido-1:3:4κ(3)S-tetra-μ(2)-sulfido-1:3κ(2)S;1:4κ(2)S;2:5κ(2)S;2:6κ(2)S-disulfido-1κS,2κS-tetra-silver(I)ditungsten(VI) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate, contains two [WS(4)](2-) anions, four silver cations, three bidentate-bridging bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)methane (dppm) ligands and two N,N-dimethyl-formamide (DMF) solvent mol-ecules. The coordination geometry of each Ag atom is distorted tetra-hedral. Two Ag ions are coordinated by μ(2)-S and μ(5)-S atoms, and by two P atoms from two dppm ligands, while the other two Ag atoms are coordinated by μ(2)-S, μ(3)-S and μ(5)-S atoms, and by one P atom from a dppm ligand.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
