Silver phosphinates have been used in catalysis for direct annula-
tions toward phosphorylated oxindoles [21] and a tetrasilver(I)
phosphonitocavitand [22] and silver(I) phosphonates have been
synthesized [23]. Structures and ligand conformations of Ag(I)
complexes containing phosphinic amide ligands have been
reported [24] as well as structural characterization of some
arylamidinium diphenylphosphinates forming one-, two- and

LiCl by-product was filtered off using a Büchner apparatus under
