Synthesis and characterization of new AMTTO-imine-ligands and their silver(I) complexes: crystal structures of TAMTTO, [Ag2(TAMMTO)4](NO3)2 · 4MeOH, [Ag(TAMTTO)(PPh3)2]NO3 · 1.5THF, [Ag(FAMTTO)(PPh3)2]NO3

Reaction of 4-amino-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-thione-5-one (AMTTO, 1) with 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 2-furaldehyde led to the corresponding iminic compounds 6-methyl-4-[thiophene-2-yl-methylene-amino]-3-thioxo-[1,2,4]-triazin-3,4-dihydro(2H)-5-one (TAMTTO, 2) and 4-[furan-2-yl-methylene-amino]-6-methyl-3-thioxo-[1,2,4]-triazin-3,4-dihydro(2H)-5-one (FAMTTO, 3). Treatment of 2 with AgNO3 gave the complex [Ag2(TAMMTO)4](NO3)2 · 4MeOH (4) and of 2 and 3 with [Ag(PPh3)2]NO3 gave the complexes [Ag(TAMTTO)(PPh3)2]NO3 · 1.5THF (5) and [Ag(FAMTTO)(PPh3)2]NO3 (6), respectively. All the compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Compound 2 and all the complexes have been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies, respectively. In addition, 5 and 6 have been characterized by 31P NMR spectroscopy.
