title: Di-μ-thio-cyanato-bis-{[1,2-bis-(diiso-propyl-phosphan-yl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodeca-borane]silver(I)}.
abstract: The title compound, [Ag(2)(NCS)(2)(C(14)H(38)B(10)P(2))(2)], was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-bis-(diiso-propyl-phos-phan-yl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodeca-borane with AgSCN. The diisopropyl-phosphanyl-closo-carborane ligand is coordinated in a bidentate manner to the Ag(I) atom through the two P atoms. The coordination of the Ag(I) atom is distorted tetra-hedral, in which two vertices are formed by the P atoms of the chelating diphosphine ligand, and the other two are occupied by the S and N atoms of the two bridging thio-cyanate anions, leading to a centrosymmetric binuclear complex. The distance between the two C atoms in the carborane skeleton is 1.851 (6) Å.
