Binuclear Cyclic Silver(I) Complex with the Anion of 4-[(2-Diphenylphosphanylphenyl)methyleneamino]benzoic Acid: Synthesis, Structure, and Optical Properties

Resumo

4-[(2-Diphenylphosphanylphenyl)methyleneamino]benzoic acid (HL) is obtained by the condensation of o-diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde and p-aminobenzoic acid. The reaction of AgNO₃ and HL affords complex [Ag₂L₂] · H₂O (I). The structure of complex I is determined by X-ray structure analysis (CIF file CCDC 1575064), and its reflectance and luminescence spectra are studied. Binuclear complex I is a cyclic molecule in which each of two silver(I) atoms coordinates one phosphorus atom and one oxygen atom of two bridging anions L. Compound I is characterized by emission in a range of 430–740 nm at λ_exc = 340 and 395 nm.
