The heretofore unknown paramagnetic, green complex Ag (CO) j is synthesized from the cocondensation reaction of silver vapor and carbon monoxide in the temperature range 6-15 K. Characterizationof the tricarbonyl complexand support for the mononuclear formulation originate from several sources:(a) mixed, 2C160/13C160 and 12C160/l2C180 isotopic sub-stitution, frequencyand intensity calculations,(b) silver concentration experiments,(c) simultaneous vaporization and cocon-densation of Cu and Ag vapors with CO,(d) uv-visible spectroscopy, and (e) ESR spectroscopy. When Ag (CO) 3 is synthesized in pure CO, the vibrational data are consistent with a slightly distorted triangular planar structure, towards either Civ or C2, probably reflecting the low substitutional site symmetryfor the molecule in solid CO. However, when synthesized in Ar, Kr, or Xe matrices, Ag (CO) 3 appears to adopt a regular, Du,, structure. The ESR spectrum for Ag (CO) 3 in CO-Ar matrices sup-ports the contention that the molecule has axial symmetry (g||= 2.012 and g±= 1.995). The corresponding uv-visible spectrum is consistent with that expected for a trigonal planar molecule having a 2\i''electronic ground state which is compatible with the observed blue shifts for allof the optical transitionsof Ag (CO) 3 comparedto Cu (CO) 3. Unlike the correspondingcopper vapor-carbon monoxide reaction, Ag2< CO) 6 couldnot be synthesized from the matrix reaction of Agand CO at high con-centrations of silver. However, Ag (CO) 3 is found to be thermally and photochemicallylabile in pure CO. During warm-up ex-periments in the range 20-35 K, Ag (CO) 3 undergoes a facile dimerization reaction to form Ag2 (CO) 6. On the other hand, warm-up experiments performed on Ag (CO) 3 in Kr and Xe matrices demonstrate that the molecule is stable up to at least 80-100 K. Under these conditions, Ag (CO) 3 shows no tendency to decompose or dimerize. The thermal behavior of Ag (CO) 3 is taken to indicate that some kind of matrix-assisted diffusion process is operating in pure CO. Possible diffusion mechanisms are discussed in the light of recent matrix kinetic studies of the dimerization reaction of Ag (CO) 3 in pure CO. Using methods similar to those outlined for Ag (CO) 3, the synthesis and characterization of the Ag (CO) 2 and Ag (CO) complexesin Ar, Kr, and Xe are described. The information extracted from the infrared and uv-visible spectra of the complete series of complexes M (CO)„(where M= Cu or Ag;= 1-3) is used to draw conclusions about their molecular and electronic structures, thermodynamic stabilities, and bonding properties. Of special interest is the anomalous behavior observed for the Cotton-Kraihanzel CO bond stretching force constants. A rationalization interms of a very stable nd10 valence shell and the participation of ener-getically accessible valence p „metal orbitals in the overall bonding scheme are presented. In this context, the role of pT metal orbitals in the recently synthesized main group carbonyl complexes of Al, Ga, Ge, and Sn is assessed as is the interesting rela-tionship between the M (CO)„data (where M= Cu or Ag,= 1-3) and those for CO chemisorbed onto Cu and Ag metallic films. Finally, the matrix-induced frequency shifts for Ag (CO)„in Ar, Kr, and Xe are rationalized in terms of Buckingham’s theory of nonspecific solute-solvent interactions.The state of knowledge of the carbonyl chemistry of silver has remained essentially unchanged since the early reports of failure in 1866.1 Up to the present time no stable carbonyl nor carbonyl derivative of silver has been reported and until very recently the only available information pertaining to Ag-CO bonds was …
