The title complex, [Ag(C(18)H(15)P)(4)]BF(4), was prepared by the reaction of silver(I) tetra-fluorido-borate and triphenyl-phosphane in the presence of 1,2-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl-ene. The Ag(I) atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by four P atoms from triphenyl-phosphane (PPh(3)) ligands. Due to symmetry, the tetra-fluorido-borate anion is disordered over three positions (each with one third oc...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(C(4)H(6)BN(6))H(C(18)H(15)P)(2)(CO)]·C(2)H(3)N, discrete mononuclear complexes are found in which the Ru atom is coordinated by two triphenyl-phosphine (PPh(3)) ligands, one dihydro-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)borate ligand, one carbonyl ligand and one hydride atom within slightly distorted octa-hedra. The two P atoms of the PPh(3) ligands are tran...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Os(C(6)H(7)S)Cl(C(18)H(15)P)(2)(CO)], confirms the formulation as an osmabenzene. There is a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment at the Os(II) ion, with the triphenyl-phosphane ligands mutually trans and the chloride cis to the carbon bearing the -SMe substituent. Within the metallacyclic ring, the C-C distances are appropriate f...

The title compound, [Ni(C(14)H(9))Cl(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], was synthesized from the reaction between 9-chloro-phenanthrene, NiCl(2)·6H(2)O and triphenyl-phosphane in ethanol. The bond angles around the Ni(II) atom indicate that it exists in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry.

The title compound, [Pd(C(6)H(4)N(2)S(2))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], was obtained as a minor product from the reaction of trans-PdCl(2)(PPh(3))(2) with piperazine-1,4-dicarbothioic acid bis-(pyridin-2-yl)amide. The Pd(II) atom displays a slightly distorted square-planar PdP(2)S(2) geometry with a bidentately coordinated pyridin-2-ylcarbonimidodithio-ate ligand and two triphenyl-phosphine mol-ecules, coo...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(3)(C(9)H(11)P)H(2)(C(18)H(15)P)(CO)(8)], the triangular Ru(3) unit is capped with one mesitylphosphin-idene ligand. In the trigonal-pyramidal Ru(3)P core, one Ru(II) atom is coordinated by a triphenyl-phosphane ligand in a terminal fashion. Two hydride ligands bridge over two Ru-Ru bonds. These Ru-Ru bonds [2.9400 (4) and 2.9432 (4) Å] are sli...

In the title compound, [CdI(2){(C(6)H(5))(3)PO}(2)], the Cd(II) atom is ligated by two I atoms and two O atoms from two triphenyl-phosphine oxide ligands in a disorted tetra-hedral arrangement. While the O-Cd-I angles vary from 106.67 (7) to 111.23 (7)°, the O-Cd-O angle is 88.60 (10)° and the I-Cd-I angle angle is 125.47 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals forces only.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(4)H(8)N(2)O(4)·C(18)H(15)OP, two triphenyl-phosphine oxide mol-ecules and two dimethyl hydrazine-1,2-dicarboxyl-ate mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength and are related via a twofold rotational axis. Weak C(ar)-H⋯ O contacts strengthen the crystal structure.

The title compound, [Ag(C(7)H(5)O(2))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)]·CH(2)Cl(2), crystallizes with a distorted tetra-hedral geometry about the Ag(I) atom, defined by two O atoms from one tropolonate ligand and two P atoms from two triphenyl-phosphine ligands. It is an example of a new type of tropolone derivative that has not been characterized via solid-state methods.

Promising alternatives for solar energy utilization are thin film technologies involving various new materials. This contribution describes an easy and inexpensive synthetic method that can be used to prepare soluble nanoscale triphenyl phosphine-coordinated CIGS (TPP-CIGS) photoactive functional materials. This complex is stable in the solid state under the irradiation of the ambient light, bu...
