The interplay of metal and supporting ligand in labile coordination to pincer complexes of Ag(i)

The bis(imino)pyridine scaffold provides support for the synthesis and characterization of unique Ag(i) pincer complexes [{ArNCPh}2(NPh)] Ag+(OTf)- (Ar = 2,5-tBu2C 6H33; 2,6-iPr2C6H 34). The bonding interactions between the cation-anion and between the bis(imino)pyridine ligand and the Ag centre are presented. Coordination of pyridine, toluene, 2-butyne and cyclooctene to the Ag centre led to the isolation and crystallographic characterization of labile transient adduct species. Bonding analysis of the adducts revealed conventional ligand-Ag coordination and important unconventional electron donation from the ligand to a π*-orbital of the bis(imino)pyridine group.
