Silver compounds metal complexes

Although trialkyl- and triarylbismuthines are much weaker donors than the corresponding phosphoms, arsenic, and antimony compounds, they have nevertheless been employed to a considerable extent as ligands in transition metal complexes. The metals coordinated to the bismuth in these complexes include chromium (72—77), cobalt (78,79), iridium (80), iron (77,81,82), manganese (83,84), molybdenum (72,75—77,85—89), nickel (75,79,90,91), niobium (92), rhodium (93,94), silver (95—97), tungsten (72,75—77,87,89), uranium (98), and vanadium (99). The coordination compounds formed from tertiary bismuthines are less stable than those formed from tertiary phosphines, arsines, or stibines.

As regards other coordination compounds of silver, electrochemical synthesis of metallic (e.g. Ag and Cu) complexes of bidentate thiolates containing nitrogen as an additional donor atom has been described by Garcia-Vasquez etal. [390]. Also Marquez and Anacona [391] have prepared and electrochemically studied sil-ver(I) complex of heptaaza quinquedentate macrocyclic ligand. It has been shown that the reversible one-electron oxidation wave at -1-0.75 V (versus Ag AgBF4) corresponds to the formation of a ligand-radical cation. Other applications of coordination silver compounds in electrochemistry include, for example, a reference electrode for aprotic media based on Ag(I) complex with cryptand 222, proposed by Lewandowski etal. [392]. Potential of this electrode was less sensitive to the impurities and the solvent than the conventional Ag/Ag+ electrode. 

Cyclopentenes behave differently and often act through radical mechanisms this can lead to photoreduction to cyclopentanes, or photoaddition of the kind exemplified by norborneneand propan-2-ol 12.57). The photoadduct in this process is linked through the carbon atom of the alcohol, and not the oxygen atom. A related addition to acetonitrile 12.58) takes place when norbornene is irradiated in the presence of a silver(i) compound. It is likely thal a metal complex of the alkene is the real irradiation substrate, and the same may be true for copper(i)-promoted additions of haloalkanes to electron-deficient alkenes (2.59). When dichloromelhane is used in such a reaction the product can be reduced electrochemically to a cyclopropane (2.60), which is of value because the related thermal addition of CH.I, to alkenes in the presence of copper does not succeed with electron-poor compounds.

Latent images or faint images in silver metal or other materials can be amplified by redox chemistries other than metal deposition. Several dye-forming redox chemistries have been discovered in which metal complexes serve as catalysts, catalyst precursors or one of the redox partners. The applications of coordination compounds in physical development and image amplification systems are therefore quite broad and diverse.
