Abstract
The [AgL2]ClO4 complex, where L is ketene S,S-dithioacetal type ligand, is synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, different spectroscopic techniques (FTIR and NMR) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). The Ag-atom is coordinated by two oxygen and two sulfur atoms of both bidentate ligands resulting in a distorted square planar environment augmented by two weak contacts with two oxygen atoms from the perchlorate anion. The HH (42.0%), OH (29.7%), CH (10.8%) and SH (11.7%) intermolecular contacts were quantified using Hirshfeld analysis. The PBEPBE and WB97XD methods are the best to predict the Ag-S and Ag-O(L) distances. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis showed that each ligand (L) transferred 0.1507 e (exp. 0.1715 e) to Ag-atom while the perchlorate anion lost 0.1748 e (exp. 0.1481 e) to silver {0.5227 e (exp. 0.5088 e)}.
Graphical Abstract
The structure aspects of the newly synthesized square planar [AgL2]ClO4 complex, where L is ketene S,S-dithioacetal ligand, were analyzed using different spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, NMR) and X-ray single crystal structure combined with DFT calculations.
