Nitrate of Silver Enema in Chronic Dysentery

Bis(dicyclo­hexyl­phenyl­phosphine)silver(I) nitrate

The title compound, [Ag(C(18)H(27)P)(2)]NO(3), is a mononuclear salt species in which the Ag atom is coordinated by two phosphine ligands, forming a cation, with the nitrate as the counter-anion, weakly inter-acting with the Ag atom, resulting in Ag⋯O distances of 2.602 (6) and 2.679 (6) Å. The cationic silver-phosphine complex has a non-linear geometry in which the P-Ag-P angle is 154.662 (19)...
