Bis(μ-nitrato-κ(2) O:O)bis-{[1,2-bis-(diiso-propyl-phosphan-yl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodeca-borane-κ(2) P,P']silver(I)} di-chloro-methane disolvate.

The title compound, [Ag2(NO3)2(C14H38B10P2)2]·2CH2Cl2, was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-bis-(diiso-propyl-phosphan-yl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodeca-borane with AgNO3. The resulting dinuclear molecule has crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. The diiso-propyl-phosphanyl-closo-carborane ligand is coordin-ated in a bidentate manner to the Ag(I) atom through the two P atoms. The distorted tetra-hedral coordination of the metal is completed by two O atoms of two bridging nitrate anions. The separation between the two Ag(I) atoms is 3.8913 (5) Å. C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed involving the dichloromethane solvent molecule and the nitrate anion.
