M. E. Olmos et al. • 2-(Diphenylphosphino)-pyridine
contact is suggesting attractive forces between the
two metals, reminiscent of such interactions in the
homonuclear complex [5].

[Ag(PPhipy)2 ]BF^ (4b): Method 1: A solution of 2
(0.1 mmol, 0.091 g) in 20 ml of acetone was treated with
ligand 1 (0.2 mmol, 0.053 g) and the solution was stirred
for lh in the dark. The solvent was then removed in a
vacuum. Addition of diethylether gave complex 4b as a
white solid, yield 0.128 g (89%).
Method 2: To a solution of silver tetrafluoroborate (0.2
mmol, 0.039 g) in 20 ml of acetone was added ligand
1 (0.4 mmol, 0.106 g). After lh of stirring in the dark
the solvent was evaporated and 15 ml of diethylether was
added to precipitate complex 4b as a white solid, yield
0.133 g (92%). - 1H NMR: 6 =6.97 (m, py, 2H), 7.05-7.41

The reaction of complex 5b with [Cu(MeCN)4]+
BF4- also gives a mixed metal complex (Cu/Au:
7), but the pale-yellow product could not be crys-
tallized. All analytical and spectroscopic data are
consistent with a structure related to that of com-
pound 6 in solution, but details of the solid state
structure regarding e.g. cation/anion packing can-
not be predicted.
Experimental
General: All experiments were carried out at room
temperature without special precautions against mois-
ture, except for complex 7. The complexes of silver
must be protected against daylight. Warning: Perchlorate
salts may be explosive. 2-(Diphenylphosphino)pyridine
was purchased from Aldrich. [Au2(PPh2py)2][BF4b[5],
[Au(tht)2]C104[l 1] and [Cu(NCMe)4]BF4[12] were pre-
pared following the literature procedures. MS: Varian

trometer, CDCb or (CD ^CO (7) as solvents with TMS
as internal standard for ’H, and H3PO4 (85%) as external
standard for31P{1H}.
