Abstract
The interaction of [Ag(PPh3)2(CH3COO)] (1) with thymine led to the displacement of the acetate ligand forming the mononuclear compound [Ag(PPh3)2(C5H5N2O2)] (2). This compound has been characterized by IR, NMR, element analysis, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. Crystal structure of 2 shows each Ag ion is three-coordinated by two P atoms of the triphenylphosphino ligands and one N atoms of the thymine, which is stabilized by two intermolecular N-H…O and O-H…O hydrogen bonding interactions.
